They were tough and much feared despite the limitations they faced, such as shortages of machine guns, airplanes, artillery, and other weapons. They were often thought to be the tools of the Germans, but Erickson makes a convincing case that they planned and led their own forces and followed their own national objectives. They fought on multiple fronts and against multiple enemies. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Hänvisningar till detta verk hos externa resurser. Wikipedia på engelska (103)The first general history in English of the Ottoman Army in the First World War, Ordered to Die is based on newly available Turkish archival and official sources. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Ottoman Army performed astonishingly well in the field and managed to keep fighting until the end of the war, long after many other armies had quit the field. It fought a multi-front war against sophisticated and capable enemies, including Great Britain, France, and Russia. Erickson challenges conventional thinking about Ottoman war aims, Ottoman military effectiveness, and the influence of German assistance. Written at the strategic and operational levels, this study frames the Turkish military contributions in a unitary manner by establishing linkages between campaigns and theaters. It also contains the first detailed discussion of Ottoman operations in Galicia, Romania, and Macedonia. Erickson provides a wealth of information on Ottoman Army organization, deployments, strategy, and staff procedures. He examines with particular attention the army's role in the Armenian deportations and the intelligence available to the Turks in 1914 and 1915. Appendixes include biographies of important commanders, the efforts of the Ottoman Air Force, Ottoman casualties, as well as a wartime chronology. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
