"Simon Mayall has produced a stimulating and thought-provoking
study of the modern Middle East. Part history, part scholarly
analysis, Mayall has drawn on his experience of more than four
decades fighting and working in the region to provide unique
insights into its people, politics and culture."_ - Con Coughlin,
Daily Telegraph With the Middle East in a state of persistent
change and upheaval, there has long been a need for a
comprehensive, yet readable, study that can give the intelligent
and interested lay-person' a greater understanding of this diverse,
complex region. The Author, whose links with the area are deep and
long-standing, successfully does just that in Soldier in the Sand.
As well as analysing its history and religions, which strongly
influence people's actions, attitudes and relationships, he draws
on his own experiences and impressions based on his many years
spent in key military and diplomatic appointments in numerous
countries. In addition to knowing many of the key players
personally, he has studied, at leading universities, British policy
and engagement in the area and he understands the effects of this
long-term engagement. This invaluable book's unique mixture of
history, politics, academic study and first-hand experience affords
the reader an invaluable insight into a fascinating, fractured and
frustrating area of the world. General Mayall explains complex
situations in a thoroughly accessible and human manner. This will
come as no surprise to those who have listened to his lectures
worldwide, but this important and entertaining book now brings his
knowledge and common-sense approach to a far wider audience.
