The Last Crusade by Anthony Bruce

The Last Crusade by Anthony Bruce

Though the campaign in Palestine helped make that region the trouble spot it is today, this is the first account of it since 1928. It was a tough and fast-moving campaign, fought against a formidable enemy in harsh terrain and sometimes stupefying heat. Its highpoints -- T E Lawrence's capture of Aqaba with a charge of Arab horsemen, and Allenby's victory march through the streets of Jerusalem -- are well known, but there is much more that is equally gripping. Anthony Bruce has produced a comprehensive history using all the sources, including the experiences of those who took part.

'I most enjoyed the accounts of the campaign by men involved in itTheir fresh voices stripped the decades of their crust of accumulated myth.' Jason Burke, Observer -- Observer 'Bruce is not only a fine military historian but an engaging writer who makes the narrative as exciting as T E Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom' -- Birmingham Evening Mail

Anthony Bruce is the author of several works of military history, including An Illustrated Companion to the First World War and An Encyclopaedia of Naval History.
