Sykes' narrative is globally renowned for its extraordinary objectivity, lucid analysis, and fair, deeply sympathetic treatment of the immense challenges faced by successive British governments tangled in conflicting wartime promises. By examining the shifting diplomatic alliances from Arthur Balfour to Ernest Bevin, the text moves beyond standard partisan accounts to look directly at the socio-political crossroads that reshaped the modern Middle East. A permanent landmark study, this rare first edition remains compulsory, vital reading for serious academics, historians, and collectors of twentieth-century international relations, British mandatory history, and foundational Judaica.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhAwj\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-sfc-inited=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhAwj\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-sfc-inited=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-hveid=\"CAAIEhAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003eAuthor Profile: Christopher Sykes\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-sfc-pl=\"|||[]\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-wiz-uids=\"fl8HCc_4s\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"H23r4e\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwignYL2xtKXAxWeXEEAHRyPEDYQy_kOegYIAAgWEAA\" data-hveid=\"CAAIFhAA\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Christopher_Sykes_(writer)\" data-processed=\"true\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eChristopher Sykes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[[\u0026quot;https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Christopher_Sykes_(writer)\u0026quot;,null,null,[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,[{\u0026quot;1218\u0026quot;:[12,null,null,null,[7]]}]],12,null,null,null,null,null,null,[[1792841466547872,4283550,907054876],null,null,null,null,[[0,21]]],null,\u0026quot;e8264fcf-8727-4fd8-aecc-b9d71444d9ef\u0026quot;]]--\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e (1907–1986) was a highly distinguished British author, historian, and BBC producer.
