The first comprehensive history of the 1921 Cairo Conference which
reveals its enduring impact on the modern Middle East Called by
Winston Churchill in 1921, the Cairo Conference set out to redraw
the map of the Middle East in the wake of the First World War and
the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The summit established the
states of Iraq and Jordan as part of the Sherifian Solution and
confirmed the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine-the
future state of Israel. No other conference had such an enduring
impact on the region. C. Brad Faught demonstrates how the
conference, although dominated by the British with limited local
participation, was an ambitious, if ultimately unsuccessful,
attempt to move the Middle East into the world of modern
nationalism. Faught reveals that many officials, including T. E.
Lawrence and Gertrude Bell, were driven by the determination for
state building in the area to succeed. Their prejudices, combined
with their abilities, would profoundly alter the Middle East for
decades to come.
