Arid Empire

The Entangled Fates of Arizona and Arabia

Natalie Koch

Explore the fascinating history of the colonization of the American West and the essential role played by experts from the Middle East in its settlement. Discover how camel corps led by Syrian cameleers helped secure the new swath of the country just wrested from Mexico. In this evocative and narrative history, learn how the exchange of colonial technologies between the Arabian Peninsula and the United States bound the two regions together, solidifying the colonization of the US West and eventually, the reach of American power into the Middle East.
