520 $aHow did the British and French empires cope with mounting internal opposition in the early twentieth century? What were the links between domestic opponents and foreign challengers in the Middle East -Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Transjordan - and North Africa - Tunisia,Algeria, Morocco, Egypt - as inhabitants attempted to overthrow the European colonial order? What strategies did Great Britain and France adopt in the face of these threats? Empires of Intelligence, the first study to use recently declassified reports, argues that colonial intelligence services and elaborate security policing played crucial roles in maintaining control in the Arab territories from the beginning of World War I until the fall of France in 1940.
