The author, after military service, decided in early 1937 to join the Palestine Police. After journeying to Palestine, he found himself among good humoured, well disciplined men maintaining order in a very troubled land. Already a keen naturalist, he was most observant, both on and off duty, ever watchful of the natural scene and its flora and fauna. The volume amounts to a history of Palestine and the Middle East in the early part of the 20th century, and illuminating on the wildlife mentioned in the Bible.
