HISTORIOGRAPHY: From Clerk to Clerk: Writing Diplomatic History
My book In the Anglo Arab Labyrinth, published in 1976, would, I suppose, be classified by librarians and bibliographers as a work of diplomatic history. This would no doubt be appropriate, for as its subtitle indicates, the work deals with the letters which were exchanged in 1915 16 between the British High Commissioner in Egypt and the Sharif of Mecca, and which prepared the way for what is known as the Arab Revolt.
