The Story of the Arab Legion, by John Bagot Glubb
Glubb’s Romantic Arab
The Story of the arab Legion.
by John Bagot Glubb.
London, Hodder and Stoughton. 371 pp. £1/5/—.
Brigadier Glubb—Glubb Pasha, as he is called—is the frustrated Titus of our time. His Legion is a miniature army, but it is also the first “modern” Arab army of the technical age; it became famous not by its deeds in the Second World War, as the author wants us to believe, but because it placed its guns around Jerusalem on the day of the British evacuation and shelled the civilian population in an effort to conquer the Holy City or frighten its Jewish population away.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First American edition. From the publisher: "The founder of Islam, the prophet Muhammad (571-632 A.D.) brought to the people of Arabia a new religion that completely transformed the Middle East and the world beyond. Glubb, who spent much of his adult life among the Bedouin of Arabia, here describes the social milieu, personality, religious message, family life, battles, and far-reaching influence of the Prophet. In Glubb's accessible account of the life of Muhammad, written for the general reader, the author explains how the age in which Muhammad lived influenced him, and describes the impact his personality had on Islam. Glubb offers insight into the atmosphere, suffused with Jewish, Christian, and polytheist thought, in which the Prophet perceived his religious mission; his attitudes towards women and his relationships with his wives; and the battles he lead to insure the survival of his followers, confronting enemies at Bedr and Uhud and eventually capturing the key city of Mecca." Lieutenant-General Sir John Bagot Glubb, KCB, CMG, DSO, OBE, MC, KStJ, KPM (1897 1986), known as Glubb Pasha and Abu Hunaik by the Jordanians, was a British soldier, scholar, and author, who led and trained Transjordan'
