This is a biography of Sir John Bagot Glubb, Glubb Pasha, who was best known as the Commander of the Arab Legion. Appointed in 1930 to pacify warring Bedouin tribes in Jordan, he then led them in distinguished service in Iraq and Syria.

This study uses the private papers of Glubb Pasha to rethink the end of Britain's imperial presence in the Middle East.

The first English-language biography of Muhammad (571-632 A.D.), depicting the great prophet and founder of Islam, his life and achievements, and his enormous influence on the modern world.

In 1921, Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick Gerald Peake formed the Arab Legion as a police force in the former British protectorate of Transjordan. The Legion's main roles were to keep order among Transjordian tribes and safeguard the villagers from Bedouins. In subsequent years, under the leadership of Glubb Pasha, the Arab Legion was transformed into the best-trained of all Arab armies. This richly illustrated book examines the history of the Arab Legion, detailing the infantry, supporting arms and services, and air, sea, police and national guard forces. It also profiles leaders, like Pasha, who were influential in the evolution of this force.
