Following Turkey's entry into the Great War on the side of the Central Powers, British strategy in the Middle East called for the re-opening of warm-water communications with Russia by forcing the Dardanelles, the occupation of Basra to secure the Mesopotamian oil fields, and a defensive stance in Egypt.

"As depicted in the great film Lawrence of Arabia, General Allenby planned a swift campaign that would knock Turkey out of World War I. His Desert Mounted Corps succeeded in sweeping through the Turkish lines in an action which was to take them all the way to Damascus, supported on their right flank by Lawrence and his Arab irregulars. The lasting legacy of the battle of Megiddo was that it revealed the potential of a modern "war of movement", producing a profound change in military thought and tactics."--BOOK JACKET.
