With nearly two mounted divisions engaged against the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East for almost three years the Palestine Campaign was Australia's longest running militarily significant endeavour of the First World War after the Western Front. And yet apart from the battle of Beersheba, the Palestine Campaign receives little attention in Australia compared to Gallipoli and the Western Front. In contrast to the years of grinding trench warfare in France and Belgium, the Palestine Campaign was a war of relative movement and manoeuvre. Cavalry, including Australia's light horse, played a prominent role, but it was a hard fought fully modern war, in which the latest military technologies and techniques were all used.

An exceptional book. I was pleased with the level of information in this book. While not super detailed the level of detail is more than enough to understand what happened at each battle in the campaign. I was surprised just how ignorant I was of Australian (and other countries history) during this campaign. This from someone who likes to know about the more "obscure" military history of Australia.
It is refreshing to see a book that does not cloud the stories of the Australian Light Horse with myth. In fact there is a page dedicated to debunking four of the common myths of the Australian Light Horse.
Would by again... and would buy for friends interested in history (
