Book excerpt: A full assembly of all the valuable colour and black-and-white maps that were bound into the celebrated three-volume set of Military Operations Egypt & Palestine - History of the Great War - Other Theatres and are now extracted to form this Atlas. Although attention has understandably focused on the Western Front in the Great War, the conflict was a World War fought across many different theatres. Battles raged from the deserts of the Arabian peninsula and the Holy Land, to the jungles of East Africa and the beaches of Gallipoli. This Atlas covers the British Empire's struggle against the Turks in Egypt and Palestine that began with a test of endurance and military engineering in the harsh terrain of the Sinai desert. It evolved into a fast-moving mobile campaign, which resulted in a decisive Allied victory and the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Two issues stand out as regards this campaign: one, the contribution of Edmund Allenby in making the transition from defensive to offensive warfare, and second, the decisive role played by the Indian cavalry during the Allied advance across Sinai. Of all 'Other Theatre' campaigns, this proved perhaps the most successful. All goals - original and extended - had been achieved, efficiently and without having to divert major resources from the Western Front. However, success in war always comes at a price. It is estimated that the Egyptian campaign (Suez, Sinai and Palestine) accounted for over 57,000 British and Dominion casualties killed or missing, died of disease, wounded or captured.

This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was originally planned to complete the Official History of the Egypt and Palestine campaign in two volumes, with this second volume taking the story from the appointment of Allenby to the command of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force (EEF) in June 1917, to the conclusion of the armistice with Turkey. But it was only after Allenby's arrival that the campaign really took off, with all the major offensives and battles taking place during his period of command. It thus became clear that Volume II would need to be in two parts. This part covers the offensive at Gaza and Beersheba and the subsequent battles in the Judaean Hills for the capture and defence of Jerusalem, which lasted from the end of October to the end of December 1917 without a break. It continues into 1918 with the operations in the Jordan Valley in February 1918; first the capture of Jericho, then the two raids into Trans-Jordan with the important engagements between them, lasting until 4 May. At this point there was a real break in the campaign for the first time and it is here that Part I ends. The contents list includes Parts I and II and all the appendices are at the end of Part II.
