Gandhi's involvement in Middle Eastern politics is largely
forgotten yet it goes to the heart of his teaching and ambition -
to lead a united freedom movement against British colonial power.
Gandhi became involved in the politics of the Middle East as a
result of his concern over the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate
following the First World War. He subsequently - at the invitation
of the Jewish Agency - sought to reconcile Jews and Arabs in a
secret deal at the time of the Mandate of Palestine. However,
Jewish and British interference coupled with the Arab Revolt and
the rise of the Muslim League in India thwarted Gandhi's efforts in
the region. Like so many who would follow, Gandhi was unable to
solve the problems of the Middle East, but this book for the first
time reveals his previously obscure attempt to do so.
Gandhi's experience in the Middle East was in marked contrast to
his other successes around the world and is crucial for a full
understanding of his life and teachings. Gandhi in the Middle East
offers many new and revealing insights into the goals and limits of
an international statesman at a critical period of imperial
history.
