In 1915, after the outbreak of the First World War, it became clear that the existing British intelligence networks were not suited to the complexity of Middle Eastern politics; a change was quickly needed.
Speaker Juliette Desplat will discuss the creation of the Arab Bureau, the vast amount of territory that it covered, and the agents – including numerous academics and archaeologists – who delivered detailed and scholarly information at a time when the world was at war.
