Tying threads of three key players in WWI Arabia, this book opens up large movements in history by dissecting small turns. I found it exhilerating to coonect tugs of war in Europe, Arabia, and in the basic truths of personality and personal ambitions that shape events.

Reading in conjunction with Gertrude Bell's letters and her role in the formation of Iraq. This view of history, so far, is deeply exciting.
