For My Parents Marion and Alan

Contents

I would like to thank Clare Brown, archivist at the Middle East Centre, St Antonys College, Oxford University, for her assistance on my many visits to use the Spears papers and sundry other collections. Moreover, I would like to acknowledge the permission from Dr Eugene Rogan, Director of the Middle East Centre, St Antonys College, for allowing me to quote from and refer to collections of private papers held at the Centre, specifically the papers of Nevill Barbour, Estelle Blyth, Humphrey Bowman, Richard Crossman, Jerusalem and the East Mission, Elizabeth Monroe, Harry Philby and Hubert Young.

I would also like to thank Colonel J.A. Aylmer, literary executor of Sir Edward Spearss private papers collection at the Middle East Centre, St Antonys College, for allowing me access to the Spears papers when they were closed to public viewing, and then for his prompt permission to allow me to cite from them in the course of this book.

I would also like to acknowledge and thank Pembroke College, Cambridge University, for allowing me access to and permission to cite from the Ronald Storrs papers; Mr Pinfold, Librarian, Rhodes House Library, Oxford University, for allowing me to refer to and quote from the Fabian Colonial Bureau archives; Dr C.M. Woolgar, Archivist and Head of Special Collections, at the Hartley Library, University of Southampton, for allowing me permission to cite from the collections of private papers of the following individuals held in the Hartley Library archives: Selig Brodetsky, Ivan Greenberg, Basil Henriques and Harold Reinhart.

On a personal note, I would like to thank Gus Nichols, Andy McConnell, Alan Shaw, Dermot Brosnan, Nick Williams and Stephen Douglas for the interest they have shown in my work and the encouragement that they have given me the last few years. I would especially like to thank Simon Meldrum and Petros Panayiotou for their support while I was completing this project in 1998. I would also like to give special thanks to Professor Efraim Karsh, who has guided me in my studies and given me many opportunities for which I am grateful.

I would like to thank all my family, especially John and Enid Silverstone in London and, in Dublin, my grandparents, Sybil and Leslie Silverstone, Lisa and Ken Milofsky, Daniel and Amanda Miller, and Emma and Colin Sheena. All have shown me great support over the years.

Finally, I would like to dedicate this book to my parents, Marion and Alan, whose support has made this and so much more possible. Recognising this fact here is hardly enough of an appreciation, but it is a start.
