An extraordinary record of the Arab world
Gertrude Bell: The Letters Of Gertrude Bell

A bestseller in the late 1920s and 1930s, The Letters of Gertrude Bell (1927) are a unique chronicle of a unique woman. In them this charming, brilliant and astonishingly versatile lady describes her travels and adventures in a part of the world – the Middle East – where it was almost inconcievable for a woman to journey alone. Scholar, poet, historian, archaeologist, mountaineer and more, Gertrude Bell not only traveled extensively, but also played an important part in Arab diplomacy, and in 1915 she was appointed Oriental Secretary to the British High Commissioner in Iraq.
