British Imperialism and 'The Tribal Question ' - Fletcher, Robert S. G. (Associate Professor of Britain and Empire, University of Warwick)

Reconstructs the history of Britain's presence in the deserts of the interwar Middle East, using a wealth of original archival research to lead the shift in historians' attentions from the familiar, urban seats of power to the desert 'hinterlands' that state-centric approaches have long obscured.
