v. 1. 1905-1920 -- v. 2. 1921-1932 -- v. 3. 1933-1946 -- v. 4. 1947-1955.
Summary:
The coverage in the 4 volumes includes the major categories of Arab nationalists and pan-Arabists with aspirations to arab unity, as well as activists with specific territorial demands and other anti-rǧime dissidents - who sometimes became the rulers. Many great names are found in the pages, both famous and infamous. The greatest name in the struggle for Arab independence and unity, the remarkable idealist and man of action, the Emir Chekib Arslan, recurs throughout the collection for some 30 years. The records show the origins and development of notable political groups, including the Arab Ba'ath Party in 1949, and include intelligence reports on many subversive organisations, including a report as early as 1936 on the objectives and organisation of the Moslem Brotherhood; vain attempts at the suppression of this group continued in the reports from the 1940s and 1950s.--From publisher's description.
