Opis

Prior to the First World War, Germany sought the Ottoman Empire as an ally to create a jihad against the British. 'The Berlin-Baghdad Express' provides a fascinating account of Western interference in the Middle East and its lamentable results.

Recenzje

In this excellent, well-researched and fascinating book, Sean McMeekin has given us a welcome and stimulating perspective on a highly important but neglected part of the First World War. His account of the Turco-German war effort is a tale of high adventure, ambition and political chicanery with a cast of colourful, brave and sometimes ruthless characters.
