Description

The Great War & the Middle East A Strategic Study by Robert Johnson The First World War in the Middle East had far-reaching consequences, reshaping the region's politics and geography. As the Ottoman Empire crumbled, new ideologies and forms of nationalism emerged, while old ones were radicalized. The war also created iconic figures like Lawrence of Arabia and Ataturk, but destroyed others. Johnson, a military historian and former soldier, examines the strategic and operational course of the war in the Middle East, challenging common assumptions about its role in the wider conflict. He argues that the Middle Eastern theatre was not a sideshow, but rather the centre of gravity in a war for imperial domination and prestige. By re-examining the evidence, Johnson sheds new light on the complex relationships between local leaders and the Great Powers during this period. This detailed study provides a fresh perspective on one of the most significant conflicts of the 20th century.
