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 in only two months,
all the way from Gaza to Jerusalem. As well as discussions of
military strategy, this gripping narrative of the 1917 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. The repercussions of the
1917 Palestine campaign continue to be felt today. Stuart Hadaway,
in this highly readable book, re-examines this crucial point in
time when the fate of the Holy Land was changed beyond recognition.
