Críticas:

"Road to Jersusalem is a gripping exposition of an age when Britain believed it ruled the dunes as well as waves". -Lawrence Joffe, The Independent "This excellent book studies the career of John Glubb Pasha, the most influential of the British 'orientalist' corps of officers and officials serving in the Middle East until 1956..". -Will Podmore, Unison "a vital addition to Middle Eastern History...This book is for those wishing to widen their understanding of the problems that have bedevilled the Middle East for more than half a century... close but clear dissection of these complicated issues... In nearly every way, his judgement of Glubb is fair and balanced." -Geoffrey Powell MC, British Army Review 'It will be required reading for students, academics and anyone interested in the impasse which has dominated Middle Eastern affairs for over half a century.' -Fred Rhodes, The Guardian

Reseña del editor:

General Sir John Glubb was the last British pro-Consul of the region and commander of the Arab Legion during the crucial years between 1936 and 1956, which were to witness the collapse of Palestine and the final foundation and establishment of the State of Israel. As well as an analysis of Glubb's personal vision of the Middle East and its peoples - a surprisingly racial vision that would condition his politics - this book examines his reactions to the Arab Revolt in Palestine and the periodic plans to partition Palestine and establish a Jewish state. It offers an in-depth account of his thinking and actions during 1948, as he led his small army into Palestine and war against Israel.
