John Fisher

Curzon and British Imperialism in the Middle East, 1916-1919 (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

John Fisher explores the acquisitive thinking which, from the autumn of 1914, drove the Mesopotamian Expedition, and examines the political issues, international and imperial, delegated to a War Cabinet committee under Lord Curzon. The motives of Curzon and others in attempting to obtain a privileged political position in the Hejaz are studied in the context of inter-Allied suspicions and Turkish intrigues in the Arabian Peninsula. This is a penetrating study of war imperialism, when statesmen contemplated strong measures of control in several areas of the Middle East.

John Fisher

Inhaltsangabe

Choice-"A highly accomplished study that interweaves political and
mentalité history, meticulously supported by hundreds of endnotes."
Contemporary Review-"For many years Cass has had a reputation as a
publisher of scholarly books on the Middle East, and this latest volume is
no exception... One of the most balanced views of Curzon"s role and one of
the best insights into the formation of British policy regarding the Middle
East."
Contemporary British History
"This specialised but readable work on British imperialism stands out for
its comprehensive coverage of the relevant British state documents and
private papers."
International Journal of Middle East Studies
"Fisher has suceeded in portraying the chaos, bickering, and lack of
co-ordination that characterized aspects of British wartime decision-making
on Middle East affairs. His extensive and often discursive endnotes will
have to be taken into consideration by any future scholar intending to
examine the British perspective on the crucial years in this book."
The Historian
"Doyle"s book will provide undergraduate students with a clear, concise
understanding of Jansenism, its evolution, and its contributions to the
emergence of modern Europe
