Chronicling the British military's invasion of Iraq in 1917,
Eleanor Franklin Egan was an intrepid American journalist whose
autobiographical account of her time spent amongst British officers
describes the relationship between British and American forces in
the Middle East during and just after World War I. Egan's account
of military life and the actions taken by British officers to
secure the British Empire's position in the Middle East is
particularly striking, as readers begin to see the parallels
between the early twentieth century British presence there and the
current American presence in Iraq. This book should be read by all
those interested in understanding the ways in which the modern
Middle East has adapted as a result of invasion and imperialism.
With a new critical introduction that explores the choices made by
the United States that have led them to inherit the United
Kingdom's position in the Gulf, Paul J. Rich offers an analysis of
Egan's work that will allow contemporary readers to see that what
is going on in Iraq now is nothing new.
