Lords of the desert
Book • 2018
In 'Lords of the Desert', James Barr challenges the conventional view that Arab nationalism led to the decline of the British Empire in the Middle East.
Instead, he argues that the United States played a crucial role in Britain's exit, leveraging newly declassified archives to reveal the complex rivalries and power struggles between the two nations.
The book provides a detailed exploration of the region's history and its implications for understanding current geopolitical dynamics.
