The campaigns fought by the Ottomans against the British in
Palestine are often neglected in accounts of the Great War, yet
they are fascinating from the point of view of military history and
critically important because of their impact upon the modern Middle
East. Edward Erickson's authoritative and absorbing account of the
four-year struggle for control of Palestine between 1914 and 1918
of the battles fought for Suez, Sinai, Gaza, Jordan and Syria opens
up this little-understood aspect of the global conflict and it does
so in a strikingly original way, by covering the fighting from the
Ottoman perspective. Using Turkish official histories and military
archives, he recounts the entire course of the campaigns, from the
initial attack by German-led Ottoman forces on Sinai and the Suez
Canal, the struggle for Gaza and the outbreak of the Arab Revolt to
the British offensives, the battle for Jerusalem, the Ottoman
defeat at Megiddo and the rapid British advance which led to the
capture of Damascus and Aleppo in 1918.
