With the aid of numerous black-and-white photographs, many previously unpublished, "The History of World War I" series recreates the battles and campaigns that raged across the surface of the globe, on land, at sea, and in the air. "Gallipoli & the Middle East" describes the conflict between Turkey, known as the Ottoman Empire, and Russian and British Empires for control of the Middle East, most notably the failed assault on the Dardanelles in 1915. It includes such battles and campaigns as Kut, Suvla Bay, Jerusalem, Baghdad and Sarikamish. Detailed maps accompany boxes explaining key events, personalities and weapons.
