Kingmakers is the gripping story of how the modern Middle East came
to be, as told through the lives of the Britons and Americans who
shaped it. Some are famous (Lawrence of Arabia and Gertrude Bell);
others infamous (Harry St. John Philby, father of Kim); some
forgotten (Sir Mark Sykes, Israel s godfather, and A. T. Wilson,
the territorial creator of Iraq). All helped enthrone rulers in a
region whose very name is an Anglo-American invention. The aim of
this engrossing character-driven narrative is to restore to life
the colorful figures who gave us the Middle East in which Americans
are enmeshed today."
