The Logistics and Politics of the British Campaigns in the Middle East, 1914-22 - (Studies in Military and Strategic History) by Kenneth A Loparo

About the Book

"This book provides 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"--

Book Synopsis

This book develops alternative paradigms of literary realism with which to reexamine a group of crucial but marginalized twentiethcentury writers who have been misread as conventional mimetic realists. Don Adams reveals how allegory, pastoral, and parable are used by these writers as an alternative to mimesis. By working in and through these devices, these writers created virtualpotential realities that relate to conventional actuality in complex and challenging ways.
