This military history follows the 5th Battalion of the Suffolk regiment from England to Syria and the end of World War I. Among the previously untapped primary source materials used are the author's father's correspondence and photographs from his 1913-1919 service with the 5th Suffolk in England, Gallipoli, Egypt, Palestine and Syria. It follows chronologically the frustrating failures, and the final victory, of the campaigns in North Africa and the Middle East and refutes the widely held misconception that cavalry played no major role in the conflict.

Operations in the Middle East were regarded as a side show in Europe, but the activities of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force against the Turks were the last of the old days of the cavalry. Infantry, artillery and air forces were also involved, but the charges of the Australian Light Horse for example were magnificent, even if they were some of the last mounted operations of any army. The history of the campaign is accompanied by a detailed Order of Battle of the British and Commonwealth forces involved, but the real strength of the book lies in the narrative of the campaign. The main stages of the campaign are covered in the text, but what makes this book so valuable is the section of 56 plates which show all the moves and attacks of the campaign from start to finish. In addition each map has an accompanying text which explains in detail what was happening. This book is essential for any student of the last days of operational cavalry, Commonwealth forces in the First World War and anyone interested in the campaign in the desert. Some of the analysis was written by LtCol T E Lawrence ( Lawrence of Arabia)

For a long time now it has been common understanding that Africa played only a marginal role in the First World War. Its reduced theatre of operations appeared irrelevant to the strategic balance of the major powers. This volume is a contribution to the growing body of historical literature that explores the global and social history of the First World War. It questions the supposedly marginal role of Africa during the Great War with a special focus on Northeast Africa. In fact, between 1911 and 1924 a series of influential political and social upheavals took place in the vast expanse between Tripoli and Addis Ababa. The First World War was to profoundly change the local balance of power. This volume consists of fifteen chapters divided into three sections. The essays examine the social, political and operational course of the war and assess its consequences in a region straddling Africa and the Middle East. The relationship between local events and global processes is explored, together with the regional protagonists and their agency. Contrary to the myth still prevailing, the First World War did have both immediate and long-term effects on the region. This book highlights some of the significant aspects associated with it.
