Pressestimmen
Shortlisted for the 2014 Slightly Foxed Best First Biography Prize--Best First Biography Prize"Slightly Foxed" (06/02/2015)'Ali Allawi's Faisal I of Iraq is excellent and indispensable, effectively a history on the making of today's Middle East.'--Simon Sebag Montefiore, Evening Standard--Simon Sebag Montefiore"Evening Standard" (11/20/2014)"[A]n important achievement and fully confirms that King Faisal was an outstanding Arab leader."--Alan Rush, The Spectator--Alan Rush"The Spectator" (02/15/2014)"A reverent, stirring life of the Arab nationalist, friend of T.E. Lawrence and first monarch of Iraq. Using a host of lost Arab voices in painting the portrait of Faisal I (1885-1933), the author fills a void in scholarship with this nuanced biography of a seminal figure in the shaping of the modern Middle East . . . A misunderstood sharif finds a worthy, erudite biographer in Allawi."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review--Kirkus Reviews"Faisal I of Iraq is a sympathetic but by no means uncritical portrait, drawing on all the available sources, in English and Arabic. It is unlikely to be dislodged as the standard treatment for some time to come."--Christopher de Bellaigue, Financial Times-- (02/01/2014)"Through his skilful use of Arabic as well as British sources, he portrays Faisal as a convincing multi-dimensional figure. . .This is the fullest portrait yet of a fascinating figure who played a significant role in the making of the modern Middle East."--The Economist-- (02/08/2014)"One of the strengths of Allawi's book is that it ignores received ideas of imperialism and nationalism and shows the links, as well as conflicts, between them. . .This biography makes a compelling case that Faisal I, a foreign monarch born in the Hejaz, educated in Constantinople, imposed by Britain, was a better rule of Iraq than most Iraqi leaders."--Philip Mansel, Literary Review-- (03/01/2014)"This tome will hold the interest of both general readers and specialists, and is notable for being the first full-length biography of the monarch written in English."--Publishers Weekly--Publishers Weekly

I would agree with some of the other reviewers that this is not a book written to be Faisal's version of the adventurous "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom", but a deep dive into the complex world of Arab Nationalism from the First World War primarily dealing with Faisal's diplomatic challenges. It would be a difficult first read for someone without some Middle East background, but it definitely fills a gap in historical information that has been largely filled with "Lawrence of Arabia' in the West by default.I read the book based on the Economist recommendation, and was not disappointed. This book provides an explanation of why so many in the Middle East are so reluctant to trust U.S. and Western intentions in the region and even explains some of the still open wounds that have not healed from the battle for Arab independence in WW 1 to this day.This book is recommended for readers with an existing understanding of Middle East politics and history. It is a timely read, as the astute reader will notice many of the places and sects that Faisal discusses are right now intertwined with the ISIS tragedy across Syria and Iraq.Finally, I am also confused about the review discussing Faisal's support for/or lack of support for the creation of the State of Israel. I thought that the author used excellent historical analysis to come to his conclusions and dealt with Faisal's change in policy in reference to the new Israeli State fairly.
Most of us know King Feisal, before he was king, from reading about Lawrence of Arabia. The author of this book uses Arab sources, such as diaries, letters, annd interviews, as well as western sources. It turns out that Feisal, in addition to knowing Bedouin tribes their customs and character, was very well educated and ahead oh his times in many respects. This is a must read for anyone wanting to learn post WWI Arab history.
very intelligent expose and well researched.
Outstanding for people who want to learn about the root causes of today's problems in the Middle East.
