About the Product
The Middle East Online series delivers a central resource of primary source materials covering the political history of the Middle East in the 20th Century. Based on British Government and other files in the U.K. national archives, the series makes a major contribution to research and teaching of Middle East Studies, the workings of diplomacy, of conflict resolution and peacekeeping.
Iraq, 1914-1974 offers a broad range of original source material from the Foreign Office, Colonial Office, War Office and Cabinet Papers covering the period from the Anglo-Indian landing in Basra in 1914 through the British Mandate in Iraq of 1920-32 to the rise of Saddam Hussein in 1974. Here major policy statements and other working documents are set out in context, the minor documents and marginalia revealing the workings of the mandate administration, diplomacy, treaties, oil and arms dealing. Photographs, color maps from The National Archives and contemporary film help bring this vital strand of modern history to life.
