NY Times Review: IN ''Promise the Earth,' ' Clive Irving moves World War I away from the familiar battlefields of France and into the arena of the Middle East between 1915 and 1919, when intrigue and espionage, political jockeying and long-range aspirations for statehood flowered in the desert. From Egypt to Palestine to Persia, the panorama is widescreen all the way, and the author plays the locale and characters for all they're worth. .
