A fascinating book by a British soldier who tells of the efforts in WWI in the Middle East. This was a time when much of the battling was with bayonet and face to face. There are a lot of interesting facts of the brutality of that war. Toward the end he mentions that 60,000 people died of starvation in 'Beyrout' during the War out of a population of 80,000.
