"Kingmakers is the story of how the modern Middle East came to be, told through the lives of the Britons and Americans who shaped it. All helped enthrone rulers in a region whose very name is an Anglo-American invention. The narrative is character-driven, and the aim is to restore to life the colorful figures who for good or ill gave us the Middle East in which Americans are enmeshed today."--BOOK JACKET.
