Set up covertly during the Second World War and continuing until the Suez crisis of 1956, the Near East Arab Broadcasting Station - better known as Sharq al-Adna - was for most of its life one of the most influential radio stations in the Middle East. This article draws on an unpublished memoir by a former director of the station, to tell the little-known story of a British attempt to win Arab hearts and minds during a formative period in the emergence of the modern Middle East
