The British Empire in the Middle East 1945-1951 cover

This book, which examines British disengagement in the Middle East during the Labour Government of 1945-51, is in a large sense a comment on the British response to Arab, Jewish, and Iranian nationalism.

A magnificent and comprehensive new book....Mr. Louis unravels with compelling detail the way in which the British 'official mind' engaged in an imperial and strategic juggling act, as it sought to preserve national interest in an era of unprecedented global change. * The New York Times Book Review *
