The Palestine Campaign undertaken by the British during the Great
War has become one of the most glorified military offensives of the
20th Century. Shattering the reach of Ottoman imperial power for
the final time, the conflict both pushed Germany back into Europe
and laid the groundwork for splitting up the Middle East into the
nations that we recognize today. Meanwhile, the secretive
Sykes-Picot Agreement ensured the British and French would continue
to exert colonial influence in the Middle East for the next sixty
years. Palestine and World War I is a new exploration of the social
and cultural history of the campaign, which seeks to unravel the
combination of myths and memory from which we inherit the romantic
desert persona of Lawrence of Arabia and the image of General
Allenby symbolically entering the Holy City on foot. With a
compelling Foreword by Jay Winter, Palestine and World War I
augments our existing understanding of the origins of contemporary
conflict in the Middle East and provides a valuable new perspective
into the ongoing tensions within the Arab World.
