GERTRUDE BELL
'First Lady of Iraq'
NEW, ENLARGED AND REVISED EDITION, published October 2004 by Barzan, Beirut & Manchester
Quotes from the author's introduction to new edition.
‘Her life's work is more relevant today than ever, impinging however imperceptibly on generations that are largely ignorant of its purpose and, in the highest echelons of government, uncomprehending of its lessons.’
‘When news came of the looting of the National Museum of Baghdad, it was clear that while most oil fields had been protected and preserved, a treasure house of international importance had been abandoned to its fate and ransacked. My subject's life work was in a very real sense savaged by an act of undeclared war based on the false premise of immediate danger posed to neighbours and the world at large.’

Link to the BSAI Website(The Gertrude Bell Memorial) The British School of Archaeology in Iraq is the only body in Britain devoted to research into the ancient civilizations and languages of Mesopotamia. It is currently devoting its resources to assisting in the rebuilding of Iraq’s heritage. The aftermath of the second Gulf war has left monuments, sites, libraries and museums in ruins. Many of their priceless contents have been looted, smashed, or burnt. |
