No Binding. Zustand: Good. A set of two maps and a travel guide with the bookplates of Luigi Gabbrielli, formerly Fascist Italy's Consul General to Palestine, dating to when he was its Minister in Iraq. Supported by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Amin al Husseini, Gabbrielli led the anti-British propaganda effort that resulted in the Golden Square Coup that brought the nationalist Rashid Al Gaylani to power briefly in April 1941. The three of them fled to Iran when the British ousted Gaylani in the Anglo-Iraqi War (2-31 May). With them went Fritz Grobba, Nazi Germany's former Minister to Iraq and Saudi Arabia who had facilitated the provision of German miliary advisors to Baghdad, and the training of anti-British Iraqi officers in Germany.
