Описание: Drawing on extensive use of both primary and secondary source material, 'A Hard Won Learning Experience' examines the development of battlefield performance in the British Expeditionary Force through the combat experiences of a Territorial infantry brigade in three engagements between 1916 and 1918. Originating from a 2006 MA thesis in Military History, the book takes a comparative approach to the study of battlefield performance and shows that the brigade learnt valuable lessons from its experiences of combat on the Somme in September 1916, at the 3rd Battle of Ypres in October 1917 and during the Hundred Days offensive in October 1918. The research also shows the brigade contributing to the process of post-battle analysis and the evolution of the combined arms strategy which proved crucial to the victory of the Allied armies in 1918. The effect of casualties, changes of command, morale, training and the employment of new technology provides the means of assessing the extent of the battlefield performance of the brigade which, together with the increasing devolution of command responsibilities as the war progressed, re-appraises the increasingly sophisticated approach made by the BEF to warfare on the Western Front. The book also presents an opportunity to add to the current academic scholarship and consider the pivotal role played by brigade formations in the development of the British Army’s battlefield performance, as well as tactical and operational methods from 1916 to the end of the war.

Описание: The First World War has often been understood in terms of the combat experiences of soldiers on the Western Front; those combatants who served in the other theatres of the war have been neglected. Using personal testimonies, official documentation and detailed research from a diverse range of archives, The British Imperial Army in the Middle East explores the combat experiences of these soldiers. The army that fought the Ottoman Empire was a multinational and multi-ethnic force, drawing personnel from across Britain's empire, including Australia, New Zealand, and India. By taking a transnational and imperial perspective on the First World War, this book ensures that the campaigns in Egypt and Palestine are considered in the wider context of an empire mobilised to fight a total and global war.
Автор: Sinanoglou Penny Название: Partitioning Palestine: British Policymaking at the End of Empire ISBN: 022666578X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780226665788 Издательство: Wiley Рейтинг: Цена: 36960.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Partitioning Palestine is the first history of the ideological and political forces that led to the idea of partition--that is, a division of territory and sovereignty--in British mandate Palestine in the first half of the twentieth century. Inverting the spate of narratives that focus on how the idea contributed to, or hindered, the development of future Israeli and Palestinian states, Penny Sinanoglou asks instead what drove and constrained British policymaking around partition, and why partition was simultaneously so appealing to British policymakers yet ultimately proved so difficult for them to enact. Taking a broad view not only of local and regional factors, but also of Palestine's place in the British empire and its status as a League of Nations mandate, Sinanoglou deftly recasts the story of partition in Palestine as a struggle to maintain imperial control. After all, British partition plans imagined space both for a Zionist state indebted to Britain and for continued British control over key geostrategic assets, depending in large part on the forced movement of Arab populations. With her detailed look at the development of the idea of partition from its origins in the 1920s, Sinanoglou makes a bold contribution to our understanding of the complex interplay between internationalism and imperialism at the end of the British empire and reveals the legacies of British partitionist thinking in the broader history of decolonization in the modern Middle East.
