My book on Lawrence of Arabia and the Arab Revolt, Setting the Desert on Fire, was first published in 2006.
Something that struck me while I was working on that book was the degree of rivalry between Britain and France for dominance in the Middle East. A Line in the Sand - my latest book - picks up this theme, and describes how this little-known struggle transformed the Middle East, from the destruction of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War to the violent birth of the state of Israel in 1948.
I have started work on my next book. -
