The book explores Britain's historical involvement in the Middle East, highlighting its military actions from the Napoleonic Wars to contemporary efforts against ISIS. It examines Britain's role as both an intruder and protector, shaping political landscapes by creating states, influencing leadership, and addressing conflicts. Peter Mangold analyzes the successes and failures of British policies, particularly in relation to Arab nationalism, and assesses the complex legacy left behind, including contributions to stability in some regions contrasted with ongoing instability in Iraq and Palestine.
