British Imperialism and 'The Tribal Question'

Robert S.G. Fletcher reconstructs the history of Britain's presence in the deserts of the interwar Middle East, making the case for its significance to scholars of imperialism and of the region's past. He tells the story of what happened when the British Empire and Bedouin communities met on the desert frontiers between the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf, and traces the workings of the resulting practices of 'desert administration', from their origins in the wake of one World War to their eclipse after the next.
