Abstract
This is a chapter from a 'Handbook on Arabia' by the British Navy's Intelligence Division. It provides a first hand account of Bedouin social organization with particular reference to 'tribal' divisions, settlement patterns and traditional history. The author of the chapter attributes the nature of Bedouin social organization to 'desert and steppe conditions' and argues that this type of society cannot survive longer under other environments.
