Bruce Westrate teaches History at Indiana University, South Bend.
“This superb study ably fills a void in the historiography of
British military participation and imperial strategy in the Middle
East during the Great War, and is recommended in the strongest
terms.”—Journal of Military History
“The Arab Bureau represents a unique contribution to illuminating
our understanding of the inner workings of British imperial policy
in a vital region of the world during a particularly crucial
period.”—Rashid Khalidi, University of Chicago
“Dr. Westrate rescues the Arab Bureau from seventy years of
obscurity in the shadow of its most flamboyant member, the
legendary T.E. Lawrence. This judicious and insightful book could
not be more timely. As the U.S. searches for coherence in the
shambles of its Middle East triumph, it is salutary to be reminded
of parallels in the region that confronted the victorious British
three generations earlier. Dr. Westrate persuasively argues there
is much to be learned from mistakes made then.”—Jon Broomfield,
former president, California Institute of Integral Studies
