Review: Just a money grab off the back of his surname. Terrible read Review: Well written & enjoyable. This is the second book I've read by this author, The Big House by Christopher Simon Sykes is also an excellent read. If you ever get the chance to visit Sledmere House, the home of the Sykes family you're in for a treat. This is not a bland NT type house it's an interesting family home for a very interesting family.

The biography is about Mark Sykes, Christopher Simon Sykes' grandfather. The Sykes family own extensive lands in the East Riding of Yorkshire. The beginning of the book, describing Mark Sykes' upbringing could almost be televised as Downton Abbey with scandal. The latter part of the book deals Mark Sykes' career as an MP and his role in formulating the boundaries and spheres of influence in the Middle East. What this book lacked was a detailed family tree, and possibly maps to help with Mark Sykes' extensive travels.
