Good book on a forgotten subject

Most people familiar with the First World War are not overly familiar with the battles fought in the Middle East (or else think Lawrence of Arabia fought them single-handedly). This book corrects that deficit, providing photos, maps, and text about the campaign that effectively knocked Turkey out of the War (until Ataturk came along, anyway). The book discusses the campaign as a predecessor to Blitzkrieg (and makes a convincing argument) but tends to repeat itself in some passages. Still, a highly-recommended book.
