Book excerpt: With the Turks in Palestine Alexander Aaronsohn Next morning we were routed out at five. The black depths of the well in the center of the mosque courtyard provided doubtful water for washing, bathing, and drinking; then came breakfast, --our first government meal, --consisting, simply enough, of boiled rice, which was ladled out into tin wash-basins holding rations for ten men. In true Eastern fashion we squatted down round the basin and dug into the rice with our fingers. At first I was rather upset by this sort of table manners, and for some time I ate with my eyes fixed on my own portion, to avoid seeing the Arabs, who fill the palms of their hands with rice, pat it into a ball and cram it into their mouths just so, the bol We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Belgium is bleeding and hoping, while Poland suffers and dreams of liberation, while Serbia is waiting for redemption, there is a little country the soul of which is torn to pieces-a little country that is so remote, so remote that her ardent sighs cannot be heard.It is the country of perpetual sacrifice, the country that saw Abraham build the altar upon which he was ready to immolate his only son, the country that Moses saw from a distance, stretching in beauty and loveliness,-a land of promise never to be attained,-the country that gave the world its symbols of soul and spirit. Palestine!No war correspondents, no Red Cross or relief committees have gone to Palestine, because no actual fighting has taken place there, and yet hundreds of thousands are suffering there that worst of agonies, the agony of the spirit.Those who have devoted their lives to show the world that Palestine can be made again a country flowing with milk and honey, those who have dreamed of reviving the spirit of the prophets and the great teachers, are hanged and persecuted and exiled, their dreams shattered, their holy places profaned, their work ruined. Cut off from the world, with no bread to sustain the starving body, the heavy boot of a barbarian soldiery trampling their very soul, the dreamers of Palestine refuse to surrender, and amidst the clash of guns and swords they are battling for the spirit with the weapons of the spirit.The time has not yet come to write the record of these battles, nor even to attempt to render justice to the sublime heroes of Palestine. This book is merely the story of some of the personal experiences of one who has done less and suffered less than thousands of his comrades.ALEXANDER AARONSOHN

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Palestine Few countries have been so often invaded and subjugated as Palestine since the days, recorded in the Tel el Amarna tablets, before the children of Israel entered Canaan to disturb the Amorites and do battle with the Philistines, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Macedonians, Egyptians, Romans, Saracens, Crusaders, Turks have come and conquered and ruled and vanished away. Among all these conquests, there has been none in which such a promise of hope for the future could be descried as in that of 1918, when the British Expeditionary Force under General Allenby brought to an end the brutal and oppressive rule of the irreclaimable Turk, who had misgoverned the unhappy country for four centuries. The circumstances of that liberation, and the condition of Palestine when it took place, will always have interest for generations to come, and this book of Mr. McCrackan's supplies a simple and lively picture of the facts.

Download or read book With Our Army in Palestine Classic Reprint written by Antony Bluett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Our Army in Palestine This was a more serious matter, for the Senussi were the largest native tribe in Egypt, and Turkish and German officers had been very busy amongst them. Some account of the operations against them has already been published, but I believe it concerns mainly the Duke of Westminster's spirited dash with his armoured cars to rescue the ship wrecked survivors of the Tara, who were grossly ill-treated by the Senussi. Yet right up to the end of 1917 they were a source of trouble, and in 1915 the situation became so serious that a strong puni tive force had to be sent to Mersa Matruh, on the Western Frontier of Egypt, to cope with it. Here, I think, is where we must make our bow, for we had some small place in these operations; it was, in fact, our introduction to actual fighting, though we had already spent many torrid weeks on the Suez Canal. And no better mise en sce'ne could we have than the old Missa, for the story of the campaign would be incomplete without mention of her; she was unique. Besides, every body in Egypt knows the M issa. Those who had the misfortune to know her intimately speak of her with revilings and cast slurs upon her parentage.

Many errors in the former have been corrected in the present one, and some alterations made in the heading of the chapters, which has served to abridge, and, I may add, to elucidate'the subject matter. But I have made few, if any, alterations in the description of life and manners which I have given: and the reflection of four years' experience, afl'orded by intermediate events, and lastly, (though.

Download or read book How Jerusalem Was Won Being the Record of Allenby s Campaign in Palestine Classic Reprint written by W. T. Massey and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Jerusalem Was Won, Being the Record of Allenby's Campaign in Palestine This narrative of the work accomplished for civilisation by General Allenby's Army is carried only as far as the occupation of Jericho. The capture of that ancient town, with the possession of a line of rugged hills a dozen miles north of Jerusalem, secured the Holy City from any Turkish attempt to retake it. The book, in fact, tells the story of the twenty-third fall of Jerusalem, one of the most beneficent happenings of all wars, and marking an epoch in the wonderful history of the Holy Place which will rank second only to that era which saw the birth of Christianity. All that occurred in the fighting on the Gaza-Beersheba line was part and parcel of the taking of Jerusalem, the freeing of which from four centuries of Turkish domination was the object of the first part of the campaign. The Holy City was the goal sought by every officer and man in the Army; and though from the moment that goal had been attained all energies were concentrated upon driving the Turk out of the war, there was not a member of the Force, from the highest on the Staff to the humblest private in the ranks, who did not feel that Jerusalem was the greatest prize of the campaign.

This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Deliverance of Jerusalem It must never be forgotten that the Syrian people are not Turks either ethnologically, linguistically, or in character and temperament. The Turks - as far as the original stock goes - are all of Turanian origin the Syrians are Semites, at least predominantly, with a mixture of Greek and other strains. As regards lan guage, the language of the Turks, though written in Arabic characters, is in every way distinct from Arabic. Few Syrians __outside Government circles in Palestine know Turkish, and. Their native language (arabic), of which they are justly proud, is banned by the Govern ment, who transact all their business - or did before the war - in Turkish or French. Students at the Syrian Protestant College at Beirut wishing to get their govern ment diplomas in medicine or, pharmacy, were not allowed to present themselves for examination in their own language but in Turkish or' French. All legal documents had to be drawn up in Turkish. The Syrian having legal business had to engage an interpreter just as if he were a foreigner. The Turk never indeed ceased to treat the Syrians as a vanquished people, and the land as a conquered one. The Governors sent from Constantinople were almost without exception Turks and knew Only Turkish or French, sometimes indeed only the former. Their period of appointment was precarious and always short. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
