This volume is based on a selection of documents from the despatches of an unusual British diplomat, Gilbert MacKereth, who served as His Majesty's Consul in Damascus during the 1930's. The Consul's acute observations illuminate several important facets of the Levant's local and international history during the decade. His unorthodox views provide an important backdrop against which the mainstream of Britain's Middle Eastern policy can be judged.
