In 1916 two men, the visionary politician Sir Mark Sykes and French diplomat Francois Georges-Picot, secretly agreed to divide the Middle East between them, drawing a line in the sand from the Mediterranean to the Persian Frontier. Over the next 30 years a sordid tale of violence and clandestine conspiracy unfolded, shaping the Middle East for the next century.
