THE ROAD

"After the Allied victory of 1918 at the end of my father's war, the victors divided up the lands of their former enemies in the space of just seventeen months. They created the borders of Northern Ireland, Yugoslavia and most of the Middle East, I have spent my entire career in Belfast, Sarajevo, in Beirut and Baghdad, watching the people within those borders burn."

The Great War For Civilisation, The Conquest of the Middle East, Robert Fisk
