Ottoman infantryman 1914-18

Nicolle, David, 1944-, Hook, Christa

Overview

\"Following the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913, the Ottoman Empire undertook a massive military retraining programme. Although many histories have derided the Ottoman Army as a poor fighting force, this was more often due to poor leadership and logistics than the quality of their troops. The typical Ottoman soldier, the asker, was tough, well-trained, and courageous. Fighting from Gallipoli to Mesopotamia and to the Caucasus, against both regular Allied armies and the irregulars of the Arab Revolt, they proved themselves to be able frontline troops. Illuminated by first-hand accounts, period photographs and specially commissioned artwork, this is the first English-language title to focus exclusively on the Ottoman infantryman in World War I.\"--Back cover.
