Roger Louis is Kerr Chair in English History and Culture and Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
Sir Kennedy Trevaskis had an outlook on Africa and the Middle East that differed radically from that of many of his contemporaries... His unvarnished autobiography gives insight into the complex and dangerous problems of the British Empire, especially in the Middle East from the 1940s to the mid-1960s. * W.M Roger Louis * This memoir is monumental, not in the Nietzschean sense of the monumental narrative that can inspire action, but in the sense of a history that will stand as a monument to a vanished world. * Dublin Review of Books *
