The Logistics and Politics of the British Campaigns in the Middle East, 1914-22

An examination of how the logistical demands of the British military campaigns in Palestine and Mesopotamia led to a more intrusive and authoritarian form of imperial control in 1917-18. This early example of Western military intervention in the Middle East provoked a localized backlash in 1919-20 whose effects continue to be felt today.

O examinare a modului in care cerintele logistice ale campaniilor militare britanice din Palestina si Mesopotamia au condus la o forma mai intruziva si autoritara de control imperial in 1917-1918. Acest exemplu timpuriu de interventie militara occidentala in Orientul Mijlociu a provocat o reactie locala in 1919-1920, ale carei efecte continua sa se resimta si astazi.
