He examines the successes and failures of British policy in the region and the reasons why - over Palestine, Suez, Aden and the 2003 Iraq war - it has often proved controversial and accident prone. And he evaluates Britain's complex legacy in the Middle East; its contribution to the success of Jordan and the Gulf states, and also the instability which has plagued Iraq and the unresolved Palestine conflict.
