The writings of one of the great woman adventurers of the twentieth
century - the 'female Lawrence of Arabia' - and the subject of a
new film starring Nicole Kidman. In the last century, few people
lived more astounding - or influential - lives than Gertrude Bell.
During World War I, she worked her way up from spy to army major to
become one of the most powerful woman in the British Empire. After
the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, she was instrumental in drawing
the borders that define the region today, including creating an
independent Iraq. This is the epic story of Bell's life, told
through her letters, military dispatches, diary entries, and other
writings. It offers a unique and intimate look behind the public
mask of a woman who shaped nations. Georgina Howell is the author
of the acclaimed biography Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert,
Shaper of Nations.
