    About this ebook

    The Palestine campaign of 1917 saw Britain’s armed forces rise from defeat to achieve stunning victory. After two failed attempts in the spring, at the end of the year they broke through the Ottoman line with an innovative mixture of old and new technology and tactics, and managed to advance over 50 miles, from Gaza to Jerusalem, in only two months.

    As well as discussions of military strategy, Stuart Hadaway’s gripping narrative of the campaign gives a broad account of the men on both sides who lived and fought in the harsh desert conditions of Palestine, facing not only brave and determined enemies, but also the environment itself: heat, disease and an ever-present thirst.

    Involving Ottoman, ANZAC, British and Arab forces, the campaign saw great empires manoeuvring for the coveted Holy Land. It was Britain’s victory in 1917, however, that redrew the maps of the Middle East and shaped the political climate for the century to come.

      This is the first follow on volume to Pyramids and Fleshpots, covering the three Battles of Gaza and the capture of Jerusalem. The third volume will cover the advance to Damascus and Aleppo in 1918.Like the first volume this is an excellent, and very readable, account of an important and overlooked campaign.Hadaway again recounts the major battles of the campaign with concise clarity, although I have to admit to a little confusion at times - probably my failing mental abilities not being able to form clear pictures from his descriptions, not helped by the poor maps. He continues to cover the essential behind the scenes story without getting too bogged down in politics.There are five Appendices, a Glossary, Bibliography/Sources and Index.Sadly, as indicated above, the quality of the maps is nowhere close to those in the first volume. My copy also had the maps slightly out of register.This remains a valuable addition to any WW1 library.I am looking forward to the third volume.
