Kermit Roosevelt

I've read in Mosul Museum library Longrigg's in its first 1924 edition. An ever green classic in its own right it is. I've also read, in Mosul Museum library in its first 1924 edition, a novel by Kermit Roozevelt, the US President's son. The novel is set in Iraq in late 1910s during which period the author was in Iraq, his stay co-inciding with G Wilson Knight's period of serving as dispatch officer in the British Army in 1917.
Kermit Roosevelt, son of US President Theodore Roosevelt by his second wife Edith Kermit Carow, was author of 1919 novel, War in Eden, set in Tikreit which he found to be living in mediaeval times. Kermit joined the British campaign to supress Sheikh Mahmood revolt in 1917. In 1926, Kermit left Tikreit and went to Afghanstan. His brother Theodore, Jr was a CIA man who was instrumental in crushing the Musaddaq movement in Iran in 1951. I remember all important events of early 1950s thanks to my dad who had bought a Siera radio set, and who was a subscriber to the daily Iraqi newspaper, Az-Zaman and to the Egyptian weekly magazine, Al-Mosawer, and through these audio-visual media, I kept a good pace with the world's goings-on, like the death of Queen Alia in 1951, the Mosaddaq movement to nationalise Iran's oil, the death of King George VI in 1952, Mohammed Najeeb's Abdul-Nasser's 23rd July 1952 Revolution, Stalin's death on 17th March 1953. Kermit Roosevelt who was born in 1989 died in 1943 of lung cancer complications or suicide by choking himself in a unique way which is still an unsolved mystery to date
