"I believe the Arabs will unite under a fearless warrior-"
Gertrude Bell had a dream--to unite the thousands of tribal clans in
Arabia into a single great nation. Putting her political brilliance and
deep cultural knowledge of Arabia to the ultimate test, she developed a
plan to do just that. But with the onset of The War to End All Wars, her
success rests not only on stubborn politicians who believe a woman's
true place is in the kitchen, but on the Arabic tribes setting aside
their differences and fighting as one for freedom. As political
bargaining and intrigue threaten to unravel her plans at the seams,
Gertrude begins to doubt whether this once-great nation will ever rise
to glory again....
