Media Reviews
Middle East Journal , Spring 2007
Thornhill makes a distinctive and astute contribution to the discussion by a process of subtle interrogation rather than revisionist tub-thumping ... Thornhill can be congratulated for producing an illuminating study of an important episode in the dissolution of Britain's formal empire in the Middle East.
