Jon PENNYCOOK reviewed A Line in the Sand by James Barr Sir
Review of 'A Line in the Sand' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
fascinating look at how the countries of the Middle East were created from Ottoman territory, how the locals were ignored in favour of keeping France happy, and how France felt so betrayed by how Britain treated them in WWII that they funded terrorist groups that attacked mainland Britain, including one that was preparing to poison the Thames with cholera.
