Bell of the Desert: The Life and Times of Gertrude Bell, The Woman Who Created Iraq by Alan Gold
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.4 MB
Overview: A grand historical novel about Gertrude Bell, one of the most influential women of the 20th century.
She was the most celebrated adventurer of her day, the brains be¬hind Lawrence of Arabia, an advisor to kings and desert sheiks, and the British Government’s secret weapon in WWI in the campaign against the Turks. A brilliant academic, mountaineer, explorer, linguist, politician and towering literary figure, Gertrude Bell is most significant unsung heroine of the 20th Century.
Alan Gold’s meticulously researched novel accurately opens history’s pages on a peerless woman who broke all molds on how Victorian women were supposed to behave—socially, intellectually, and physically. Guiding the events of the day in open, sanctioned, diplomacy and adventure all across the Middle East, her influence on the men at the vanguard of history, and her unparalleled skill in sculpting the pathways and influences of the English, French and Arab allies on the region, all lead to perhaps her greatest achievement: single-handedly creating today’s Iraq. Told as a biographical narrative of history, Alan Gold reveals that, more than any other single figure, it was this extraordinary woman who most determinedly fashioned the Arab world as we know it today.
