Most published memoirs, partisan tracts, and monographs have focused on specific Western governments that influenced the Middle East or on specific Middle Eastern regimes that collaborated with foreigners. Both Middle Easterners and foreigners have too often been portrayed in Manichean terms. James Barr goes beyond this to show how Anglo-French rivalry and suspicions affected Palestine and Syria, mandates, respectively, of Great Britain and France. Before, during, and after World War II, some French backed Zionist terror against Britain, just as some British backed Arab nationalists and separatists against France. History has long recognized Anglo-French enmities on the spot since the Fashoda Crisis in Sudan at the end of the 1890s, but Barr demonstrates how this enmity rose inside as well as outside the highest political circles in London and Paris. His first part, "The Carve-Up, 1915-1918," describes the partition of the Ottoman provinces in Asia by the British and French, a line having been drawn in the sand from the Mediterranean to the Persian frontier, with the northern part going to France and the southern part to Britain. Ministers made the most important decisions, with the British Empire doing the lion's share of the fighting and taking most of the spoils, but the French managed to take hold of Syria and Lebanon. The main actors on the spot and in London and Paris are vividly portrayed. The second part, "Interwar Tensions, 1920-1939," covers the messy assertions and postwar conferences, as the British vied with the French and others for the oil in northern Iraq as well as the pipelines to convey that oil to the Mediterranean. Though the Christians in Lebanon collaborated with the French no less than the Zionists in Palestine collaborated with the British, some Druze separatists in Syria were backed by the British against France in the 1920s, and some Zionist militants in Palestine were backed by the French against Britain in the 1930s.

'mode' specifies whether a filter is real with zero phase ('real') or π/2 phase ('imag') or complex ('mag'). 'type' highlights whether a filter is purely temporal, spectral or spectro-temporal ('ST'). See Chapter 7 for further description.

Moreover, in the absence of quantitative economic analysis, the relative importance of trade conducted by intimate networks as compared with that of the WIC remains an open question. Building on her sedulous detective work in the archival and printed sources, Romney’s close attention to New Netherland allows for remarkably detailed depiction of a range of micro-level relationships. This focus, however, also entails neglect of broader contexts, not only regarding other Dutch colonies and long-distance commerce but also concerning other European trade and imperial ventures of the time. A few of these issues are raised in footnotes, and some scholarship is critically, though briefl y, evaluated there. Had that material been integrated into the text, however, it could have been more adequately examined and perhaps helped nuance some of the author’s balder assertions (not to mention enhancing the book’s readability). New Netherland Connections provides much food for thought both for specialists in Dutch and Dutch colonial history and for students of empire and commerce throughout the early modern Atlantic. Thanks to Romney’s research, they will want to place in comparative perspective her theses on the important role that popular participation played in local and long-distance trade, in intercommunal relations, and in the circumstances in which colonial slavery could be modifi ed, if not evaded. It may then be possible to judge the degree to which the fascinating stories that the author has uncovered were unique to the Dutch Atlantic—or even to New Netherland—and how much they were rooted in the early stages of European colonization and global commerce.
