Desert dispute
The struggle to delineate the boundaries of south-eastern Arabia can claim to be one of the longest running diplomatic disputes of the twentieth century, which has echoes to this day. This study, by the foremost authority on the subject, is an exhaustive one, based on thorough research in the relevant archives and direct experience of the dispute. As such it will be the standard reference work on this question for all who have an interest in the Gulf Arab states, their territorial origins and its effects on their increasing role in regional and world affairs.

The SLS and the modern history of Libya
The Society for Libyan Studies has been in the forefront of research and writing on the modern history of Libya. The example was set by the first president of the society, Sir Duncan Cumming. Following the defeat of Axis forces in North Africa in 1942–43, he was closely involved with the British military administration of Libya. In this role he was instrumental in establishing local self-government and lobbying for Libyan independence, finally achieved in 1951. In retrospect it is clear that he also laid the groundwork for the study of the emergence of Libya as a modern state. Historians and members of the SLS, such as John Wright, have followed suit and have made major contributions through their books and articles to our understanding of the history of Libya. Long may this continue. إن جمعية الدراسات الليبية في طليعة البحث العلمي والكتابة عن تاريخ ليبيا الحديث. وقد وضِعَ هذا المنهج من قبل أول رئيس للجمعية، السير دنكان كومينج . فبعد هزيمة قوات المحور في شمال أفريقيا في 1942–1943، كان السير دنكان كومينج مشارك بشكل وثيق في الإدارة العسكرية البريطانية بليبيا. حيث كان له دور فعال في تأسيس الحكم الذاتي المحلي وكذلك الضغط من أجل استقلال ليبيا، الذي تحقق في نهاية المطاف في عام 1951. و بنظرة فاحصة للماضي يبدو من الواضح أيضا إنه من وضع الأساس لدراسة نشأة ليبيا كدولة حديثة. وقد حذا حذوه المؤرخون وأعضاء جمعية الدراسات الليبية، مثل جون رايت، وقدموا مساهمات كبيرة لغرض فهمنا لتاريخ ليبيا من خلال كتبهم ومقالاتهم. و نأمل بان يستمر هذا النشاط.

'Crazy in the Extreme'? The Silk Letters Conspiracy
The Silk Letters Conspiracy, or Case, was a plot by a small clique of Indian Pan-Islamists located in Afghanistan, India and the Hijaz to overthrow British rule in India during the First World War. Although British officials at the time were prepared to admit that the conspiracy had been 'organised with some skill', there was a general feeling that it was a rather 'pathetic' and 'ineffectual' affair, and 'crazy in the extreme'. This verdict has been echoed by those who have subsequently considered the plot, if only in passing. But there is more to the Silk Letters Conspiracy than meets the eye, as this article will detail. In retrospect, the Case has a greater significance than previously thought in terms of Britain's encounter with Pan-Islam.
