The author reveals how and why the Allies drew lines on an empty map that remade the geography and politics of the Middle East. Focusing on the formative years of 1914 to 1922, he delivers, in this sweeping magisterial book, the definitive account of this time. A time when Bible students see  the hand of God at work amongst the nations. It shows the beginning of the road that led to the conflicts and confusion that continues to this day.
