    A Great Look at this Desert Campaign
  

*by M***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 31, 2013*

David Murphy's book is written in an orderly manner that provides an excellent synopsis of this desert campaign.  He ties the Arab revolt to the overall British mission in a way that is easy to follow.  This is noteworthy as many of the people and places are probably unfamiliar to the average reader.The book has an extensive four page chronology and a detailed Order of Battle.  Both of these are helpful in allowing the reader to keep track of various events.  It has five 2D maps and two 3D Birds Eye View maps.  Each map is concise and presents a clear picture.  The 2D tactical maps are extremely helpful in following the progress of the campaign.  The book has an outstanding assortment of photos.  They include everything from individuals like T.E. Lawrence and Emir Feisal ibn Hussein, to action scenes, and war material such as aircraft and Talbot armored cars.  These photos do a great job of bringing this campaign to life.The book does have some editorial shortcomings.  On page 73, a sentence reads as follows; "The Ma'an garrison was now be cut off in the same way as the Medina garrison was further south."  The word "be" should obviously have been deleted.  In addition, some graphics are out of sync with the text.  The color battle scene for the attack on Mudawwarah Station is located ahead of the applicable narrative.  Although not significant, these shortcomings could have been avoided.The book has a chapter on the legacy of the revolt that outlines the origin of modern Middle Eastern countries.  It also describes the history of T.E. Lawrence and how he became known as Lawrence of Arabia.  Of particular interest are the possible fabrications in his memoir and rumors that atrocities may have occurred under his watch.Bottom line:  This is an easy to read and concise overview of the entire campaign.  The photos are particularly interesting.  Despite the editorial shortcomings, this is an excellent book.

    The Arab Revolt...
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2014*

In 1916, as the First World War reached the Middle East, the Arab tribes in what is now Saudi Arabia revolted against the governing Ottoman Empire.  Great Britain, anxious for support to its own campaign against the Ottoman Armies, sent troops and supplies to facilitate the success of the rebels.  Among the British officers was former archeologist T.E. Lawrence, seconded to intelligence to assess the revolt and its leaders, and soon to become the iconic "Lawrence of Arabia", a leader of the Arab armies that changed everything.The popular image of the Arab revolt has been warped for generations, first by Lawrence's literary epic "The Seven Pillars of Wisdom", then by David Lean's cinematic masterpiece "Lawrence of Arabia.  This Osprey Campaign Series entry, "The Arab Revolt 1916-1918" is an introduction to what really happened.  In less than 100 pages, author David Murphy sketches the background to the revolt, the principal leaders on both sides and their plans, and what happened. Lawrence was only one of many British and French officers and soldiers who helped the Arab tribal armies achieve military success.  It also turns out that Britain and France had their vision of a postwar Middle East, one that did not include Arab autonomy.The narrative does a decent job of placing Lawrence in context, and of recognizing that his version of events was just that.  The text is very nicely supplemented by period photographs, maps, diagrams and illustrations.  The bibliography is worth perusing for further information about the conflict.  Recommended.
