This is a story of intrigue among rival empires; of misguided strategies; and of how conflicting promises to Arab and Jew created a legacy of bloodshed which determined the fate of the Middle East.
Uncovering shocking foreign office communications and using fascinating footage, which has never been seen on television before, this documentary pieces together a disturbing picture of a cynical and duplicitous war time government.

Produced in association with The Gulf Research Centre.
