1922173026London: HMSO Press Harrow & Harrison & Sons Ltd 1922 1923 & 1923 1924. Background intelligence on Faisal's Iraq First editions of two regional sitreps issued after the 1920 Iraqi Revolt and Faisal's installation in 1921 prepared for British officials administering the new monarchy. Both are rare - print runs of 1375 likely with fewer distributed - with only five and four institutional copies traced. Each is marked Provisional and Confidential; Area 1 is additionally stamped "secret" in a contemporary hand. The projected 10-volume series was never completed and surviving instalments sometimes titled Military Report on Iraq are scarce. Compiled at short notice on the model of Naval Intelligence Division geographical handbooks the reports provide concise local intelligence: historical and geographical survey then climate resources ethnography tribal structure leading figures communications transport and routes with technical appendices. Area 1 Northern Jazirah covers northern Iraq and adjacent Turkey and Syria stressing weak British influence and the prestige lost through unchecked tribal raiding after 1919. Its core is a detailed tribal analysis supplemented by contemporary intelligence annotations on succession disputes and political loyalties. Area 7 Tigris surveys the settled agricultural belt from Kut to Qurnah and the Shatt al-Arab reflecting greater stability and asserting that firm but protective rule could secure order. Detailed appendices describe estates shaikhs armed retainers and agricultural practice. Together the volumes offer granular evidence of British intelligence gathering during the improvised creation of the Iraqi state in the early 1920s. 2 vols octavo. Area 1 pp. viii 240 with a folding table and numerous tables to the text; Area 7 pp. ii 184 3 folding many to the text. Both in original greyish yellow printed boards cloth backstrips first with reddish orange spine the second greyish green. Both volumes in field service condition and lacking the maps called for spines sunned and chipped some repairs "Mespots" added in white ink boards rubbed and lightly stained hinges occasionally cracked with some repairs and a little play but the internal binding sound; contents toned but generally clean; for such fragile productions both remain surprisingly well preserved very good. hardcover

1945191029Baghdad: Iraqi Army Press c.1945. for the benefit of the Arabic language First edition with over 12000 words printed under the auspices of the Lexicon Committee of the Iraqi Ministry of Defence. The first and second world wars were catalysers for the sharp increase in the production of new Arabic glossaries and dictionaries for officers and soldiers stationed in the Middle East. In the early 1940s special attention was paid to technical dictionaries issued by governments and ministries rather than colloquial phrasebooks produced for individuals aiming at translation consistency and standardization. The dictionary was printed "to collect collate and preserve.the words employed by the late Prof. Abdul-Masih Wazir in his numerous translations of English military publications". Wazir was director of the translation department of the Iraqi Ministry of Defence in 1923-43. It also provided "an easy means of reference for the use of the translators of English military writings". The loose-leaf format was designed to facilitate revision. Octavo 160 x 105 mm. Text in Arabic and English. Issued as 21 pamphlets numbered 1-18 and 18A-20 roughly one per alphabet letter. Original brown cloth yellow stamped paper boards bootlace stitching. Extremities a little rubbed small paper loss on lower outer corner of rear cover contents toned but clean: a very good copy. R. Mairs Arabic Dialogues 2025. hardcover
1917178262Basrah: The Basrah Times 1917. Empire and Pan-Arabism Two leaves from the first and only issue of the Basrah Times 20 March 1917 printing Sir Frederick Stanley Maude's appeal to the people of Baghdad province issued nine days after the British capture of the city. The proclamation marks a turning point in the First World War exemplifies imperial rhetoric and foreshadows the tensions between colonial authority and national aspiration that shaped the following decade in Iraq. Although Basrah fell in November 1914 Baghdad was secured only after a further two and a half years of campaigning. Maude drove the advance restoring supply lines and winning successive engagements at Hayy Dahra and Kut before the final assault. The proclamation presents the British not as conquerors but as liberators promising renewal after centuries of foreign rule and invoking the recent success of the Arab Revolt under Sharif Hussein as a model of independence and unity. Yet this balance between nationalist promise and imperial control proved unstable: the post-war Mandate endured only until the revolt of 1920 forced political transition culminating in Faisal's election as king in 1921. Two sheets each approximately 440 x 285 mm laid down on thick card framed and glazed. Text in English and Arabic. Sheets toned and with creases from old folds minor foxing a few short tears one small hole to centre of one sheet affecting one letter: a very good set. unknown
