“The Glubb Reports offers insight into how Glubb’s ideas of Middle Eastern politics formed and changed over time, particularly his views of tribes, military modernization, and the partition of Palestine. … Bradshaw precedes each chapter with a relatively detailed synopsis of Glubb’s views contained in each document, with additional context pulled from other documentary and secondary sources. … Tancred Bradshaw has provided an excellent introduction for other scholars to continue the work and probe Glubb’s history more thoroughly.” (Gregory Brew, H-War, networks.h-net.org, July, 2016)
