Timothy Paris examines Winston Churchill's involvement in the
struggle for power in a number of Middle Eastern countries between
1920 and 1925. His study traces the development of the Sherifian
policy, a policy that was devised by the British.
After an introductory chapter treating generally Britain's war-time
Middle Eastern policies and the activities of the Sherifians, the
individual cases of Faisal, Abdullah and Husain are considered in
separate chapters. With regard to Faisal and Abdullah, the analysis
concludes at that point at which Britain made a definitive
commitment to Sherifian rule in Iraq and Transjordan. In the final
chapter, Britain's policy of supporting Husain is considered and
the reasons for the failure of the policy of supporting the family
as a whole are assessed in light of the collapse of Sherifian rule
in the Hijaz. Despite that failure, the author concludes that,
viewed in the context of the post-war Middle Eastern settlement,
British sponsorship of Hashemite rule represented sound policy.
