Summary:

First published in 1935 and reprinted now because of its relevance to the current situation in the Middle East, this work concentrates particularly on the run-up to the installation of Faisal as King of Iraq in 1932, when the British Mandate was terminated. Although largely about politics at the time, it shows the state of Iraqi politics and its historical roles as well as a useful picture, of life at the time and of Iraq's people.
