The First World War in the Mediterranean represented much more than just a peripheral theater to the war on the western front. This engaging volume includes detailed descriptions of allied attempts to capture Constantinople; bloody campaigning in northern Italy; the defense of the Suez Canal; the defeat of the Turkish army in Palestine; the Arab revolt; skirmished in North Africa; and the entrapment of an enormous Allied garrison in Greece, described by Germans as the world's biggest prison camp. This theater of war resulted in the fall of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires, the birth of nations unknown in 1914, and the inception of new regional conflicts that continue to shape the Middle East to this day.
