Q&@
TO RUN
AWAY WITH HIS
JUDGMENT', wrote one critic,
but beyond academic circles the shortcomings of his book -
in particular its underestimation of the Turks - were largely overlooked.
As another reviewer commented, 'the facts which he has collected will be of
the highest value when the settlement of the Eastern question comes to be undertaken'.
The Caliphs' Last Heritage helped earn Sykes the nickname 'the Mad MULLAH' across
Whitehall, a place on a committee considering the future of the Middle East, and now a summons
to Number 10 to address the 'Eastern question', the long-running argument over
who would take over when finally the Ottomans collapsed,
and to which the British and
the French were each
certain they were
the only
answer.
