Note publique d'information : "British imperial interests in Iraq during and after the First World War are well
known and have often been studied. But what of British policy towards the Mesopotamian
provinces before 1914? In this well-documented study, Stuart Cohen provides the first
coherent account of growing British interest in these provinces, in which the defence
of India, commercial considerations, the protection of Shia Muslim pilgrims and fear
of a German-dominated Berlin to Baghdad railway all had a vital role to play. First
published in 1976 and now available in paperback for the first time, this book is
essential reading not only for an understanding of the making of British policy towards
the Arab provinces of the Ottoman empire but also of the last days of Turkish rule
in Iraq itself."--Publisher description
