Acknowledgements
While writing this book I have incurred many debts of obligation to scholars, friends and librarians. I would like to thank, in particular, the staff of the British Library and the National Archives, whose efficiency and good nature made the task of writing the book more pleasant. I am also grateful for the assistance provided by the highly professional staff at the BP Archive, based at the University of Warwick. Debbie Usher, the archivist at the Middle East Centre Archive at St Antony’s College, Oxford, was also extremely helpful with the research I conducted at that excellent institution.
In addition, I am indebted to the generosity of my readers who were selflessly enthusiastic about reading specific chapters, adding many useful and instructive notes. Eugene Rogan was a meticulous reader for Iraq; David Washbrook helped with Kashmir; Michael Charney managed to send me some very detailed comments about Burma while on holiday in South East Asia; Cherry Leonardi, at the Sudan Archive in Durham, improved the chapters relating to that country; John Peel’s remarks on Nigeria were scholarly and to the point; Rana Mitter, despite differences of opinion, was incredibly efficient and generous with his time in correcting some of my more basic mistakes on Hong Kong.
