First published in 1958 and now back in print for the first time in over six decades, "The Thirteenth Power" offers a sharp, prescient account of Middle Eastern history geopolitics at a pivotal moment in modern history. In the wake of the Suez Crisis and amid the growing influence of the USA, USSR, and more subtly, international finance, Major-General Richard Hilton provides a unique perspective on the forces reshaping the post-war world.

Drawing on interviews with business leaders, a wealth of historical literature, and his own personal experiences, Hilton presents a compelling narrative of power, diplomacy, and Britain’s place on the global stage. He explores not only the shifting political landscape of the Middle East but also the deeper currents of British decline, as well as the growing vision for a ‘One World Government’.

Though many of the players have changed, Hilton’s insights remain strikingly relevant. This edition, carefully restored and annotated for contemporary readers, is an essential resource for students of geopolitics, British history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the roots of today’s global order.
