The book offers a critical analysis of British imperial policies in the Middle East, highlighting the failures during the peak of Britain's influence. Kedourie argues that these missteps stemmed from the "Chatham House version" of understanding the region, a perspective promoted by Toynbee and his associates. It serves as a cautionary guide for those attempting to manipulate Middle Eastern affairs for their own benefit, emphasizing the complexities and challenges inherent in the region's politics.
