Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First World War in the Middle East swept away five hundred years of Ottoman domination. In The Great War and the Middle East, Robert Johnson, military historian and former soldier, examines in detail the strategic and operational course of the war in the Middle East. Johnson argues that, far from being a sideshow to the war in Europe, the Middle Eastern conflict was in fact the center of gravity in a war for imperial domination and prestige.
