"Just finished chapter 15 which covers Bell’s travels in 1914 & 1915. The Middle East is embroiled in a complex web of political maneuvering involving Britain, France, Turkey, Germany and even India. Bell plays a very critical role in not only providing information gleaned from her travels but also brokering renewed communication amongst British, French and the Turks" — Feb 08, 2026 08:12AM

Jim’s Quotes

“They are Man's and they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. This boy is Ignorance and this girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
