MILITARY OPERATIONS EGYPT & PALESTINE

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the Arab revolt against the Turks, this volume chronicles key events from May 1918 to the armistice, highlighting the strategic contributions of Col. T. E. Lawrence 'of Arabia'. His guerrilla tactics, including sabotage of railways, effectively diverted Turkish forces, aiding the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF). Amidst the backdrop of the German spring offensives, the book details the reorganization of the EEF as British infantry units were sent to France, replaced by Indian battalions, reflecting the complexities of wartime logistics and strategy.
