Long before they came as occupiers, the British were drawn to the Middle East by the fabled riches of its trade and the enlightened tolerance of its people. This book looks at the 'Pashas', the merchants and travelers from Europe who discovered an Islamic world that was alluring, dynamic and diverse.
