Some reading about the Hadhramaut that seems to escaped Mr Brunstrom. Stark made two journeys there in the 1930s, described in these books. In many of her journeys in the Middle East, she was the first Western European woman, after Gertrude Bell, to visit individual sites. Ingrams was the British Resident in the Hadhramaut, responsible for, inter alia, extensive negotiations with the tribes designed to ensure a fragile local peace (i.e. the policy did not simply entail occasional bombings by the RAF).
