Notes
This is a book which addresses the question: how far was Britain to blame for the instability caused by the "carve up" perpetrated by the victors at the end of the war? The dangerous tensions in the region which persist today, and which appear to be becoming exacerbated, are by default thought to have causation back to the war itself. This book stops short of the present day, but covers the period from the war's end to the period immediately following the Second World War. It is a useful study of a fascinating region.
