Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from London Men in Palestine: And How They Marched to Jerusalem My labour has been given mainly to recording some thing oi the strain, urgency, and bodily feeling of our matchings in Philistia and advance to Jerusalem. If truth of atmosphere is held to inhabit thew pages that labour has not been in vain. It is an short of memory, supported by that famous map, Sheet fiventeen. Doubtless she has played some pranks with me - a tree, the configuration of a mass of rock, even a village may be wrongfully described or put out of due sequence. I hope those who know will write long and interesting letters, setting me right. But the pain, the weariness, the inner life I could not go wrong there. The end-papers and the map of Jerusalem have been produced by Sergeant G. S. White, who shared in these adventures None of the verses have previously been published, except two, which got into the Palestine News by mistake. They have been written expressly for the book. Some were hard work, but most of them a very pleasant relaxation from the severities of prose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subtitle describes the scope of this book which has been written in the style of a novel based on the author s experiences - at least that s how it seems to me. The characters in it are fictitious, certainly none of the officers named can be found in any Army List. Coldicott does not say what his unit was nor his brigade nor division but it is clear that the London Men are from the 60th London Division, a TF second-line formation, which went to France in June 1916, four months later it was transferred to Macedonia and in June 1917 it was again moved, this time to Egypt. The battalion in which the author was serving was 2/21st London, 181st Brigade, and he was a company commander (probably C Company) who had been awarded the MC for his part in the action leading to the capture of Sheria, Third Battle of Gaza, immediately before this book begins. This account covers about five weeks from November 1917 to December when Jerusalem was captured and the author wounded. Coldicott is evidently something of a literary figure, the text is well-strewn with poetry and his descriptions of the desert conditions as the men marched and fought from Huj to Jerusalem are vivid enough even if the language is a bit ornate at times. In one passage he is watching the men as they struggle on in the heat and the dust and flies and the thought crosses his mind that even the sergeant-major, a man seemingly as strong as an ox , might fall out but he puts the thought out of his mind at once: Pardon, O giant of strength and endurance, that I indite these words, yet did not a like shadow flit sometimes across thy own cheerful vision? Quite so. By the time the reader reaches Jerusalem he will know he has been through the mill.

CHAPTER VI THE GREAT DAY I HOW WE CAME TO JERUSALEM F this last chapter fail to bring again into reality I the scenes it dwells upon, the experiences from which it is drawn are not at fault, but the commander of the company whose adventures are here narrated. The book, indeed, would not be ending now, were it not for a certain unlucky card dealt by fate to the author, of which something anon. This series of marches and dry and wet experiences would have formed, had the fates been kinder, the third of a set of four volumes. The first would have described the raising of our unit, its long sojourn in England and France and our adventures there. The second I would have devoted entirely to Macedonia, a country that well deserves a book. The third is almost aooomplished--it is unfolding before your eyes. But the fourth, the sad and disastrous fourth, where our little epic found its climax, alas! the greater portion of it would have to be completed at second-hand. Thank God I am alive to tell even a fragment of the great wandering tale, which, in this chapter, may be said to break off short rather than terminate. Lately you caught me abjuring prefaces; but now I am led irresistibly into this one by a desire not to do wrong to the memory of those splendid fellows who, when I lay impotent, descended into the Jordan Valley and did battle there. Those who lost their lives--and there are many of them-- in the most terrible experience the battalion ever went through will surely rise up and complain wailingly that I am making too much of minor affairs, allowing to fall into oblivion all that long after-agony, if I do not do this reverence to their manes. Poor ghosts! would I had descended with you, a sharer in your torments; and you too, you few...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark history of one hundred years of war waged against the Palestinians from the foremost US historian of the Middle East, told through pivotal events and family history In 1899, Yusuf Diya al-Khalidi, mayor of Jerusalem, alarmed by the Zionist call to create a Jewish national home in Palestine, wrote a letter aimed at Theodore Herzl: the country had an indigenous people who would not easily accept their own displacement. He warned of the perils ahead, ending his note, “in the name of God, let Palestine be left alone.” Thus Rashid Khalidi, al-Khalidi’s great-great-nephew, begins this sweeping history, the first general account of the conflict told from an explicitly Palestinian perspective. Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members—mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists—The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age. He highlights the key episodes in this colonial campaign, from the 1917 Balfour Declaration to the destruction of Palestine in 1948, from Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon to the endless and futile peace process. Original, authoritative, and important, The Hundred Years' War on Palestine is not a chronicle of victimization, nor does it whitewash the mistakes of Palestinian leaders or deny the emergence of national movements on both sides. In reevaluating the forces arrayed against the Palestinians, it offers an illuminating new view of a conflict that continues to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Allied victory in the Holy Land, far from the carnage of the Western Front but a crucial, morale-boosting success under the aggressive and forward-thinking General Allenby. Three battles for the control of the key fortress-city of Gaza took place in 1917 between the `British' force [with units from across the Empire, most notably the ANZACs] and the Turks. The Allies were repulsed twice but on theirthird attempt, under the newly-appointed General Allenby, a veteran of the Western Front where he was a vocal critic of Haig's command, finally penetrated Turkish lines, captured southern Palestine and, as instructed by Lloyd George, took Jerusalem in time for Christmas, ending 400 years of Ottoman occupation. This third battle, similar in many ways to the contemporaneous fighting in France, is at the heart of this account, with consideration of intelligence, espionage, air-warfare, and diplomatic and political elements, not to mention the logistical and medical aspects of the campaign, particularly water. The generally overlooked Turkish defence, in the face of vastly superior numbers, is also assessed. Far from laying out and executing a pre-ordained plan, Allenby, who is probably still best remembered as T. E. Lawrence's commanding officer in Arabia, was flexible and adaptable, responding to developmentsas they occurred. JOHN D. GRAINGER is the author of numerous books on military history, ranging from the Roman period to the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal account and description of the campaign to take Jerusalem This first- hand account by an officer of the London Regiment recounts the war the infantry of the 60th Division knew during the campaign in the Middle East against the Ottoman Turkish Empire during the First World War. Coldicott's narrative begins in November, 1917, after the capture of the wells and materiel at Sheria and the fall of Gaza. The reader accompanies the Londoners as they march northwards across the plains to the Judean Hills and on towards Jerusalem. The final part of Coldicott's narrative concerns the taking of Jerusalem, and he describes the assault on the Mount of Olives up to the moment when he is wounded in the arm. Coldicott's account is full of acute observation and dialogue that brings the personalities of his Londoners vividly to life. As the author's experiences were cut short by his wound this unique Leonaur edition also includes a description of the fall of Jerusalem, when Allenby symbolically entered the city on foot through the Jaffa Gate, by military historian Edmund Dane. Illustrated with maps and photographs. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To See A Promised Land explores the fascination that Americans historically have had with the land of the Bible. By focusing on the period before World War I, Lester Vogel uncovers the various ways in which Americans (primarily Protestants) typically thought about and knew the Holy Land prior to the land's politicization and embroilment in the conflict between Arab and Jewish national interests. During this period, there were literally hundreds of popular books, pamphlets, and articles about the Holy Land available to American readers. Although most Americans never visited the Middle East, they nevertheless had distinct images of what the land was like through these writings, their churches, and their own reading of the Bible. On the very day of his assassination in 1865, even President Lincoln contemplated a tour of the Holy Land at the end of his term in office. Americans who did travel to the Middle East took with them preconceptions and brought back with them descriptions that, in turn, helped to reshape continually the popular image of the Holy Land. One of the most celebrated journeys to the East was the 1867 "Quaker City Tour," immortalized by Mark Twain in his Innocents Abroad. Vogel suggests that this unique relationship between Americans and a foreign land might be seen as an expression of "geopiety," a term coined by the geographer John Kirtland Wright to describe a certain mixture of place, past, and faith. To See A Promised Land draws upon a wide variety of written accounts--those of American travelers (from Twain to Theodore Roosevelt), missionaries, settlers and colonists, explorers, archaeologists, biblical scholars, and diplomats and officials--in order to shed light on this fascinating aspect of American thought and character.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 2007, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, by John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, provoked both howls of outrage and cheers of gratitude for challenging what had been a taboo issue in America: the impact of the Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy. A work of major importance, it remains as relevant today as it was in the immediate aftermath of the Israel-Lebanon war of 2006. Mearsheimer and Walt describe in clear and bold terms the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel and argues that this support cannot be fully explained on either strategic or moral grounds. This exceptional relationship is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. They provocatively contend that the lobby has a far-reaching impact on America's posture throughout the Middle East―in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict―and the policies it has encouraged are in neither America's national interest nor Israel's long-term interest. The lobby's influence also affects America's relationship with important allies and increases dangers that all states face from global jihadist terror. The publication of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy led to a sea change in how the U.S-Israel relationship was discussed, and continues to be one of the most talked-about books in foreign policy.

Book excerpt: Winner - Edward Stanford Travel Memoir of the Year 2019. Longlisted for the Rathbones Folio Prize. 'An extraordinary travelogue, strange and brilliant' i In 2013 Guy Stagg made a pilgrimage from Canterbury to Jerusalem. Though a non-believer, he began the journey after suffering several years of mental illness, hoping the ritual would heal him. For ten months he hiked alone on ancient paths, crossing ten countries and more than 5,500 kilometres. The Crossway is an account of this extraordinary adventure. Having left home on New Year's Day, Stagg climbed over the Alps in midwinter, spent Easter in Rome with a new pope, joined mass protests in Istanbul and survived a terrorist attack in Lebanon. Travelling without support, he had to rely each night on the generosity of strangers, staying with monks and nuns, priests and families. As a result, he gained a unique insight into the lives of contemporary believers and learnt the fascinating stories of the soldiers and saints, missionaries and martyrs who had followed these paths before him. The Crossway is a book full of wonders, mixing travel and memoir, history and current affairs. At once intimate and epic, it charts the author's struggle to walk towards recovery, and asks whether religion can still have meaning for those without faith. It was a BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week' on publication.
