This book explores the acquisitive thinking which, from the autumn
of 1914, nourished the Mesopotamian Expedition and examines the
political issues, international and imperial, delegated to a War
Cabinet committee under Curzon. The motives of Curzon and others in
attempting to obtain a privileged political position in the Hejaz
are studied in the context of inter-Allied suspicions and Turkish
intrigues in the Arabian Peninsula. Debate on the future of
Mesopotamia provided an outlet for differences between those who
justified British gains on the basis of military conquests and
those who realised that expansion must be reconciled with broader
international trends. By 1918, Britain was developing strategic
priorities in the Caucasus. Fisher analyses Turco-German aims in
1918 and challenges the notion of their leading, straightforwardly,
to the zenith of British imperialism in the region. This is a
penetrating study of war imperialism, when statesmen contemplated
strong measures of control in several areas of the Middle East.
