Biography: historical, political & military; History; Middle Eastern history; Boer Wars; Battles & campaigns

Edmund Allenby, Viscount Allenby of Megiddo and Felixstowe, as he became later, was the principal British military figure in the Middle East from 1917 to 1919. He fulfilled a similar proconsular role in Egypt from the latter year until 1925. In these two roles Allenby’s eight years in the Middle East were of great impact, and in probing his life an especially revealing window can be found through which to observe closely and understand more fully the history that has resulted in the terminal roil afflicting the Middle East and international affairs today.

In this biography Brad Faught explores the events and actions of Allenby’s life, examining his thinking on both the British Empire and the post-World War I international order. Faught brings clarity to Allenby’s decisive impact on British imperial policy in the making of the modern Middle East, and thereby on the long arc of the region’s continuing and controversial place in world affairs.

Reviews for Allenby: Making the Modern Middle East

This book presents an exquisitely thorough biography of Edmund Allenby (1861-1936), the British military and diplomatic leader of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Recounting Allenby's life, Faught gives us a window into the geopolitical, colonial strife of the time, including the run-up to Allenby's conquest of Palestine in 1917 and eventual installation as Governor of Egypt in 1919 ... This is a history lover's dream of a book. * AramcoWorld *
