A propos de cet article

Self wraps with British Survey masthead 22x28cm. Printed by Lamport Gilbert & Co, Reading. Numbered pp81-84. Good, lightly tanned, two-hole punched at the spine fold (not impacting content) with horizontal centrefold.

In two main sections, the first covers "Islam" (history and description; Islam Today describing its geographical spread; Sects and divisions primarily focussing on Sunni and Shia). The second section covers "The Arabic Countries" (origins and definitions, The Arab Revival since 1847 taking in the Arab Revolt and the rise of Ibn Saud etc; The Arabs and the War contrasting Bedouin Arab views of Nazism (uncongenial) with the more nuanced views of urban Arabs; North Africa and colonial involvement; and the Arabs of Asia covering Syria, Palestine, Trans-Jordan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. Concluding remarks state that "The Arabic-speaking countries are watching the struggle of European Powers with a certain detachment".…
