Description:

One of four volumes on World War I, this work examines the Mediterranean Front between 1914 and 1923. It covers: allied attempts to capture Constantinople; campaigning in northern Italy; the defence of the Suez Canal; the Arab Revolt; skirmishes in North Africa; and more.

Synopsis:

The First World War in the Mediterranean represented more than just a peripheral theatre to the war on the western front. This engaging volume includes details of allied attempts to capture Constantinople; bloody campaigning in Northern Italy; the defence of the Suez Canal and the defeat of the Turkish army in Palestine. The Arab revolt, skirmishes in North Africa and the entrapment of a huge allied garrison in Greece - the 'worlds biggest prison camp' as the Germans described it - are also covered. The result was the fall of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires and the birth of nations unknown in 1914.
