Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Loyalties; Mesopotamia, 1914-1917; A Personal and Historical Record is an authoritative and firsthand account of the British military and civil administration in Mesopotamia during the First World War. Written by Sir Arnold Talbot Wilson, who served as a high-ranking political officer in the…region, the work blends personal observation with historical documentation to provide a comprehensive view of the Iraq campaign.The narrative covers the complexities of military strategy, the challenges of colonial administration, and the intricate relationships between the British forces and the local populations. Wilson offers detailed insights into the socio-political landscape of the Middle East at a pivotal moment in history, capturing the transition from Ottoman rule to British influence.As both a memoir and a historical chronicle, 'Loyalties' explores the tensions inherent in wartime governance and the heavy burdens of duty and loyalty.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition; small 8vo (18 x 13 cms); publisher's original green printed cloth wrappers, black lettering to upper cover, a few marks to upper cover, else a very good copy, internally clean; 43 pp. This scarce intelligence pamphlet includes significant chapters on the neighbours of Iraq, namely 'The Bakhtiari', the 'Pusht-i-Kuh…' (PoÅ¡t-e Kuh), and 'Central Arabia and the Shamiyah'. Scattered throughout are extensive references to the history of Arabia and Saudi Arabia, with the 'Central Arabia' chapter including an account of Ibn Saud and Wahhabism, as well as mentions of relations with Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait. It was only five years later that the borders of Saudi Arabia with Iraq and Kuwait would be agreed under the Uqair Protocol. Sir Arnold Talbot Wilson (1884-1940) was a critical figure in the British administration of Iraq and its relations with its neighbours. He was deputy chief political officer under Sir Percy Cox and then acting commissioner when Cox transferred to Persia in 1918. The pamphlet describes itself as being 'prepared to meet the request of certain Officers of Indian Expeditionary force "D" for some account of the political status of Mesopotamia and neighbouring countries' and was likely commissioned as part of the broader reaction to the British disaster at Kut in requiring up-to-date intelligence on the region. Scarce, with only 6 copies known in institutions.

In den WarenkorbSoft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Stitch-bound wraps 15x24cm. 20, (1)pp including data tables, complete with single-fold b/w Sketch Map of Arabistan 16x24cm (Ordnance Survey, 1910). Disbound from a larger volume with sections coming loose, otherwise near fine. The author, Arnold Talbot Wilson (1884-1940), is here identified as a L…ieutenant in the Indian Army, and Acting Consul for Arabistan. He had arrived in Persia in 1904 where he led a group of Bengal Lancers in defence of the British Consulate in Ahvaz, and William Knox D'Arcy's oil drillers. In 1907 he transferred to the Indian Political Department serving as a Political Officer in the Persian Gulf. In 1908 he oversaw the discovery of the first oil site in the Middle East at Masjid-i-Suleiman. As Consul-General of Muhammerah (1909-11), he was in charge of the Turko-Persian Frontier Commission. He opens this report by stating that in spite of the "disturbed state of Persia", trade has in fact improved as shippers have managed to avoid the "prolonged disturbances on the Bushire-Shiraz road" by using the Ahwaz-Isfahan road instead, with much of the opium and tobacco crop also being exported via Ahwaz. Imports of materials for the newly formed Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC) were over double all other imports combined (@300,000l). He includes a brief survey of security, banks (the Imperial Bank of Persia's new branch in Mahommerah is expected to benefit British commerce), trade restrictions, trade generally and its limited prospects in spite of Arabistan being potentially one of the richest provinces of Persia. In this context, he describes the largely subsistence life of locals: "the Arab of the desert is content with the nomadic life, living by the produce of his flocks and occasional large crops" etc, and the kinds and sources of limited imported goods they purchase. There is also extensive discussion of transport. The area is well served by various steam navigation companies, of which two have been stopping at the Refinery site at Braim (Abadan). The caravan route primarily using mules between Ahwaz and Isfahan takes 17-25 days, hampered by the lack of caravanserais and fodder, with the hope the Bakhtiari Khans will be "induced" to improve matters. The map, @23 miles to 1 inch, centres approximately on Ahwaz, bounded by Abadan Island (SW), Hindijan Customs House on the Persian Gulf coast (SE), Masjid i-Sulaiman to the south of the Bakhtiari Mountains (NE), and the Dizful Customs House (NW). It shows the extent of the very early APOC activities that Wilson had been facilitating, and hints at future developments. Thus "Oil Works" are indicated at Masjid i-Sulaiman and Mamatain, and the "Site for refinery" is marked out on Abadan. APOC had obtained the lease for this site in 1909, and built the refinery during 1910-12. Also shown are various land routes, canal and rivers indicating their navigable extents, some geographical features, and Arabistan's administrative boundary.

In den WarenkorbSmall 8vo. (6), 43, (1) pp. Stiff green cloth wrappers titled in black. Extremely rare manual, marked "For Official use only" and prepared for the troops of the Indian Expeditionary Force "D", giving an account of the political and historical context of the British Mesopotamian campaign of World War I. - Expeditionary Force "D"…was made up of Indian and British troops and is infamous for its doomed defense of the siege of Kut, where disease and starvation forced a surrender in April 1916. However, the pamphlet does not limit itself to Iraq, but crucially provides an entire chapter on the history of, and British interest in, the Arabian Peninsula, titled "Arabia - Our Left Flank", including an entire section on Abdulaziz Ibn Saud (1875-1953). The author summarizes the history of British presence in the Gulf, noting the sack of Ras-al-Khaimah in retribution for alleged pirate activity, after which "the climate forced [the British] to evacuate that position". The book further refers to the "maritime truce" imposed by Britain upon the Arabian Coast from "Masandam to Kuwait" in 1836 and notes that the suppression of the arms trade in Muscat was successful thanks to the regulations put in place by Faisal bin Turki, Sultan of Muscat and Oman (1864-1913), the direct ancestor of Sultan Haitham. In more general terms the author describes "The rich oases of the Qasim, with their population of enterprizing merchants" and "the Hasa, coveted for its date groves and its ports on the Persian Gulf" which "was finally wrested from the Ottoman Government by Ibn Sa'ud in 1913". The author lists British treaties along the Gulf Coast, including with "the Shaikh of Bahrain" (Abdullah bin Ahmad Al Khalifa, 1769-1849) in 1820 "and in 1798 with the chiefs of the Trucial Coast". - Cloth gently rubbed. Interior shows a hint of foxing, otherwise in very good condition. A single copy is listed in auction records, and that volume included a pencil note attributing authorship to Sir Arnold Talbot Wilson (1884-1940), a captain in the British Indian Army. As then-acting civil commissioner for Mesopotamia who later became known for his strong opinions on the postwar fate of Iraq, he is not an unlikely candidate.
