The Secret Anglo-French War in the Middle East: Intelligence and Decolonization, 1940-1948: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern History
Autor Meir Zamiren Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2016
Arguing that intelligence, especially covert political action and clandestine diplomacy, played a key role in Britain's Middle East policy, this book examines new archival sources in order to demonstrate that despite World War II and the Cold War, the traditional rivalry between Britain and France in the Middle East continued unabated, assuming the form of a little-known secret war. This shadow war strongly influenced decolonization of the region as each Power sought to undermine the other; Britain exploited France's defeat to evict it from its mandated territories in Syria and Lebanon and incorporate them in its own sphere of influence; whilst France’s successful use of intelligence enabled it to undermine Britain's position in Palestine, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
Shedding new light on the clandestine Franco-Zionist collaboration against Britain in the Middle East and the role of the British secret services in the 1948 Arab-Jewish war in Palestine, this book, which presents close to 400 secret Syrian and British documents obtained by the French intelligence, is essential reading for scholars with an interest in the political history of the region, inter-Arab and international relations, and intelligence studies.

Recenzii
"Zamir has provide a very important and useful contribution to the field of scholarship. He has successfully begun an important historiographic debate which will affect scholarship on decolonization, Israel and Middle Eastern studies, and of course, intelligence. It has illuminated new issues in Anglo-French intelligence relations, and the complex web of interests and rivalries which rocked the Levant during 1940-8 and beyond. The book’s new evidence and approach are sure to inspire further research, and even an eventual change in narrative." Steven Wagner, McGill University
"Anyone who seeks a better understanding of the present imbroglio in Syria should read Meir Zamir's excellent book on the 'struggle for Syria' in the 1940s." Joshua Landis, University of Oklahoma and editor of "Syria Comment"
"Meir Zamir’s great contribution to revising our view of the Second World War in the Middle East and after is to show that Britain and Free France spent nearly as much time engaged in a clandestine war against each other as they did in their mutual struggle against the Axis powers." Saul Kelly, Kings College, London
"Zamir’s book tells a fascinating story and is an important, very well researched and equally well written contribution to the field of modern Middle Eastern history, both in terms of its historical revelations and in terms of the unique documentation that it provides for the use of scholars in the future." Asher Susser, Tel Aviv University, Bustan: The Middle East Book Review

Descriere
The role of intelligence in colonialism and decolonization is a rapidly expanding field of study. The premise of The Secret Anglo-French War in the Middle East is that intelligence statecraft is the "missing dimension" in the established historiography of the Middle East during and after World War II.
