The Woman Who Draws the Boundaries - British Spy Gertrude Bell

THE WOMAN WHO DRAWED THE BORDERS OF THE MIDDLE EAST: BRITISH SPY GERTRUDE BELL…

What role did Gertrude Bell play in shaping the Middle East? Who was Gertrude Bell, known as writer, archaeologist, traveler and spy? What kind of process did he go through and become an agent working for the destruction of the Ottoman Empire?
Prof. Dr. Taha Niyazi Karaca reveals a completely different portrait of Gertrude Bell, many aspects of which have not been examined before, in the light of the archives consulted for the first time and the documents discovered. The extraordinary life of Gertrude Bell, who worked with all her might to be worthy of her country, which she "believed was spreading civilization to the world", and found the courage to enter the Arabian deserts alone, is revealed with her entire story.
This book not only presents Gertrude Bell biographically, but also explains in detail how she was one of the people who played a role in shaping the Middle East. On the one hand, he talks about his student life, historianship, archaeological studies and travels, and on the other hand, he examines the course of developments and struggles for influence in the reshaped Middle East.
In this respect, in parallel with Gertrude Bell's private life, the book also includes important events that shaped the 19th century.
Britain's defeat at Kutulamare and its impact on regional policy, the British-French partnership and the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the Balfour Declaration, the Paris Peace Conference, Percy Cox and the establishment of the Mesopotamian Civil Administration, France's occupation of Syria, the Cairo Conference, Faisal's War. Extremely critical issues, such as making King of Iraq, are explained with Gertrude Bell's thoughts and historical facts.
The Woman Who Draws the Boundaries: British Spy Gertrude Bell is a resource to be read breathlessly with her maps and photographs...
