Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Original staple-bound b/w illustrated wraps 22 x 30cm. 40pp. Very good, lightly creased with some closed tears, and small mailing ticket to the front top corner. The cover refers to the article "Pan-Arab Pains: Concessions Made to Near East Christians, Jews by Moslem Overlords" (pp12-13). Opening with an evocative scene in Baghdad, it praises Hikmet Suleiman's government for promoting equality among Muslims and Jews, and a Pan-Arab policy based on peace and goodwill. It describes a short-lived period of optimism, with Egypt and Syria recently gaining independence, and treaties signed among Muslim countries including Turkey, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Afghanistan. In the context of Pan-Arabism and Pan-Islam, it briefly profiles Ataturk and the Ibn Saud, and reactions to Zionism. A map shows "Moslem Lands where Pan-Arab nationalism is rampant from India to the Atlantic". Also featured is a portrait of Imam Yahya of Yemen, whose emissary sought Iraq's friendship. The cover depicts two armed Bedouin aiming towards the camera, in front of their black tent, shielded by their horse.
