Reviews

""A long overdue biography of one of the most important Oriental Officers to have served in the Near East at a time of enormous change, Faught has produced a fascinating account of Ronald Storrs, a witness to and shaper of the modern Middle East. This biography restores agency and granularity to events that are far too often painted in broad brush strokes reducing key developments to structural imperatives without dissecting the motives, ambitions, successes, and failures of those involved. It is only by looking at the particular and individual as Faught has so elegantly done, that we can begin to understand the wider historical hinterland of the contemporary Middle East"" * Ali Ansari, Professor, University of St Andrews, UK *
