Reviews

An excellent book.
*ISRAEL BOOK REVIEW*

First-class history. 10/10.
*THE GREAT WAR*

Grainger's analysis is informed, critical, readable and supported by a wealth of unpublished and printed primary material. [...] Makes good use of soldiers' experiences bringing to life the human dimension to the fighting in southern Palestine.
*JOURNAL OF MILITARY HISTORY*

Extremely good value as it is, like all books from this publisher, of high quality. [...] The one book on Palestine in the Great War that I would select.
*THE BULLETIN OF THE MILITARY HISTORICAL SOCIETY*

At last a brilliant detailed work on Palestine which explains the whole campaign and uses the words of the British, Anzac and Turkish forces who were there. An excellent and very informative read.
*ARMCHAIR AUCTIONS*

Grainger's analysis of battle tactics, from both British and Turkish perspectives, will captivate military buffs. Recommended.
