Non-Fiction 1927Summary:Gertrude Bell was a pioneering English writer, archaeologist, diplomat and spy whose travels through the Arabian desert gave her local knowledge unparalleled by her British peers. Recruited by British Military Intelligence after World War I, she played a significant often unrecognised role in British imperial policy-making in the Middle East, notably Iraq. Openly critical of colonial practices, Bell's insights are a singular, prescient prism through which to understand both the Middle East and the all-male inner sanctum of British colonial power.Number of Formats : 0Sorted Author by LN, FN: Bell, GertrudeWörter : 289281All Identifiers : mobi-asin:191e53d4-39b4-461f-98d5-293518db15dbHas Cover : TEMPLATE ERROR Interpreter: Internal error evaluating an expression: 'Metadata object has no attribute named: 'has_cover'' - line number 1Record ID : TEMPLATE ERROR Value: unknown field idUncomma Author : Gertrude BellTitle Length : 020Number of Words in Auth: 2Single Author : Bell, GertrudeNum of Aut : 1Title Parm A : Letters From BaghdadTitle Parm B : (Title Parm D : Letters From BaghdadAuszeichnung : isbn searchedTitle Parm F : Letters From Baghdad
