As High Commissioner in Iraq from 1920 to 1923 he presided over the birth of modern Iraq - the climax of his career -- but left an infant state fraught with political, ethnic and religious problems which have bedevilled Iraq and the Middle East to the present day.John Townsend paints a convincing picture of Britain’s global empire and brings Cox to life as an archetypal patrician proconsul.
