Britain's Triumph & Decline in the Middle East: Military Campaigns 1919 to the Present Day

By William G.F. Jackson

This is a detailed account of the British military campaigns in the Middle East in the 20th century. After World War I, the map of the Middle East was redrawn out of the ruins of the discarded Ottoman Empire. After the defeat of Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany, the inevitable consequences of the conflicting promises the British had previously made to both the Jews and the Arabs began to boil over. Arab and Jewish nationalism became unbridled and the United States entered the fray.
