Drawing on the diaries and memoir of his father, who served in the administration, Richard Synge provides the essential detail of Britain’s overall political strategy for the territory, which prioritised promoting the interests of the Sanussi brotherhood and its leader, Sayyid Mohammed Idris. 216x 140 mm, 248 pages, over 30 photographs Publication date: 2021 ISBN 9781900971256
