The Book List
Read this book in July 2018.
History, travel and the Middle East. A fascinating story about an amazing woman but also of her Victorian times… Gertrude Bell an orientalists, imperialists, archaeologist, explorer, spy, diplomat and obsessive letter writer. I kept seeing her name come up in books I’ve been reading and needed to learn more about her. It’s too bad Bush obviously didn’t read about her experiences otherwise he might have hesitated before invading and occupying Iraq.
