Rezensionen

"The Glubb Reports offers insight into how Glubb's ideas of Middle Eastern politics formed and changed over time, particularly his views of tribes, military modernization, and the partition of Palestine. ... Bradshaw precedes each chapter with a relatively detailed synopsis of Glubb's views contained in each document, with additional context pulled from other documentary and secondary sources. ... Tancred Bradshaw has provided an excellent introduction for other scholars to continue the work and probe Glubb's history more thoroughly." (Gregory Brew, H-War, networks.h-net.org, July, 2016)
