Dimitri and Khalid continue wading through the muck of Great War intrigues, including: secret whispers between Sharif Hussein and ibn Saud, the notorious Hussein-McMahon Correspondence that established the Anglo-Arab alliance, Antonius freaking out over McMahon’s cringe “Turko-Arab” prose, Hussein’s deeply unfortunate trust in British honesty, the situation on the ground in Palestine, diaries of Arab-Ottoman soldiers in “Year of the Locust”, a literal plague of locusts, the Great Tobacco Shortage, crippling famine and widespread prostitution in Jerusalem, Cemal Pasha’s bloody purge of prominent Arab nationalists, and the final liquidation of Arab Ottoman identity.
