Letters from Syria

Freya Stark

‘Letters from Syria’ is the wartime story of the British explorer Freya Stark, having travelled extensively through the Middle East in the inter-war years, travelling further and more widely than any western explorer had done previously.

Joining the British Ministry of Information at the outbreak of World War I, she helped spread propaganda to the Arab nations aimed at persuading the Arabs to support the Allies.
