This “richly textured biography” (Chicago Tribune) inspired the mesmerizing documentary, Letters from Baghdad, soon to air on public television.Here is the story of Gertrude Bell, who explored, mapped, and excavated the Arab world throughout the early twentieth century. Recruited by British intelligence during World War I, she played a crucial role in obtaining the loyalty of Arab leaders, and her connections and information provided the brains to match T. E. Lawrence's brawn. After the war, she played a major role in creating the modern Middle East and was, at the time, considered the most powerful woman in the British Empire.   In this masterful biography, Janet Wallach shows us the woman behind these achievements–a woman whose passion and defiant independence were at odds with the confined and custom-bound England she left behind. Too long eclipsed by Lawrence, Gertrude Bell emerges at last in her own right as a vital player on the stage of modern history, and as a woman whose life was both a heartbreaking story and a grand adventure.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Desert Queen has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

Amidst the larger than life figures of the early twentieth century, there were also individuals influenced by their own path that eventually changed as they progressed and unexpectedly made a difference to the rest of the world. From the pages of history and the life that she lived first, as an intellectual and curious world traveler, second archaeologist, and third officer of foreign affairs, Gertrude Bell deserves a place within the annals of history before the world drastically changed after 1914 and thereafter. Historian Janet Wallach writes an immensely detailed biography of her life Desert Queen: The Extraordinary Life of Gertrude Bell, Adventurer, Adviser to Kings, Ally of Lawrence of Arabia.Wallach examines the life of Bell through a chronological timeline of her much personal life and of woman of her times, living the life of a socialite in Victorian England well taken care of by her father and to fulfill traditional expectations to the liking of her family. However, as one reads this fascinating story, Bell’s experiences will guide her to places and people that she could not ever imagined, she was the first woman to earn a degree in Modern History at Oxford University. And Wallach reveals with much intimate encounters, the short-lived successes and countless pitfalls of her relationships with potential suitors with or without her family’s approval due to particular circumstances extremely explained in the book. There is no denying, Bell was surrounded by the most prominent individuals of power and wealth, Winston Churchill, T. E. Lawrence, Sir Percy Cox, A.T. Wilson, and numerous Kings and Princes. Each experience also had a place within her adventurous journeys away from England to travels abroad, especially to the Middle East that left a long-term effect on her. Through the research that Wallach completed at the Robinson Library of the University of Newcastle, the letters and diaries and other biographies retelling of Bell’s life, and also, the photographs and the maps that are included in the book, Wallach weaves a narrative of revealing proportions. Indeed, she was a unique woman to have spent many hours and days and years with distinguished figures in the Arab world and the work that she contributed within international relations as a representative to British affairs in the Middle East during the most pivotal periods in history during World War I; her story and the history that she shares, reverberates of the effects of the war on the east and the aftermath of independence for the regions in which she traveled and the realignment of geographical and political boundaries that will be set in place. Bell’s accounts of the lens of history of country and people may resonate of what she saw of colonizer to the colonized. Wallach specifically described this as Bell saw that the world changed by 1919 and her ideas did as well within 180 degrees.The book is an amazing tale of a woman who matured with much dexterity within over 20 year period until her death. Gertrude Bell achieved so much in her lifetime beyond expectation of those closest to her, establish relations between Great Britain and the Arab world, a preservationist to antiquities and created the Baghdad Museum and awarded gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society. Aside from the accolades, she was a woman in a man’s world that left an experience for many to read and understand a world quite different from its ancient past.
