Two men one, a visionary British politician (Mark Sykes), the other, a veteran French diplomat (Francois Georges-Picot) secretly agreed to divide the Middle East. Britain would have mandates in newly created Palestine, Transjordan, and Iraq; France in Lebanon and Syria. \u003cbr\u003eFor the next thirty years, this divide would make uneasy neighbors of two great powers and irreparably shape the Middle East. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJames Barr combs recently declassified French and British government archives and unearths a shocking secret war and its powerful effect on the local Arabs and Jews.
