Om denne bog

An explorer, archaeologist, scholar, writer, and policymaker, Gertude Bell was a colourful figure who played an outsize role in the history of the Middle East in the early twentieth century.

This book carefully examines Bell''s published and unpublished letters, diaries, notes, and publications to reconstruct and reevaluate Bell''s intentions and legacy in the Middle East in the aftermath of the First World War. It focuses on her correspondence with senior figures to examine the well-networked Bell as a policymaker in waiting.It also reappraises Bell''s role in the formation of the Kingdom of Iraq, assessing her public statements in support of Faisal, Iraq''s future king, against the doubts regarding “Britain''s mission” in the region as she previously understood the colonial enterprise. Centering her own experience and reflections in the context of wider events, this book adds nuance to perceptions of Bell as a one-sided agent of the British Empire and explores the legacy of her actions in Iraq and the West-Middle East relations today.
