A propos de cet article

B/w illustrated self wraps 14 x 22cm. 12pp including 2 b/w photos and a double-page map. Good, lightly creased, with some marks to the final page.

Predating the riots of 1947, it states that "Until recently the tribes to the east were wilder and more warlike, resenting internal interference.

The photos include "a young Arab with his rifle, complete with cartridge belt and curved Arab dagger" to the front, and a camel drawn water cart. …
