Book Synopsis Adventures of Dunsterforce by : Lawrie Walker
Download or read book Adventures of Dunsterforce written by Lawrie Walker and published by . This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dunsterforce - named after its intrepid commander, Maj.-Gen. L.C. Dunsterville - was the small, secret expedition - known from its clandestine nature as the Hush-Hush army - sent to the Caucasus at the end of 1917 in a bid to nip Russia s Bolshevik revolution in the bud, or at least to forestall any Russian attempt to move south and and export their revolution to British-ruled India. Small and ill-supplied, Dunsterforce made up for its lack of numbers with the personal dash of its commander, (who had already been immortalised in literature as Stalky in Rudyard Kipling s public school tales, Stalky & Co based on Kipling s boyhood with Dunsterville at the United Services College at Westward Ho! in Devon). Dunsterville s own book has plenty of KIplingesque derring do as trhe General and his subordinate officers ( who led sub-expeditions) to parley with the Kurdish, Persian and Cossack tribesmen of the vast and mountainous area. In the end, Dunsterforce found itself battling in vain to save the oil rich town of Baku from the Bolsheviks before lack of resources and the fatal disunity among his allies forced the force to withdraw, their mission unfulfilled. This colourful memoir, reflecting the charismatic character of its author, is a key source for anyone interested in what Kipling called the Great Game - the great power rivalry between Russia and Britain; in British intervention in Russia and the history of unorhtodox warfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Adventures of Dunsterforce This book is not intended to form a precise record of military operations and will be of small value to the student of strategy and tactics; it is written solely with the design of interesting the general reader. Stories of the Hush-Hush Army, which bear no relation to facts, have been for a long time current, and it may be as well, therefore, to give an account of the actual occurrences. It would be impossible for any one member of my force to give a truthful account of anything but the actual operations in which he was personally engaged, and this would give no idea at all of the undertakings and achievements of the mission as a whole; the task, therefore, devolves on myself. This account is written from memory with only the assistance of a rough private diary. I can, therefore, only guarantee the facts while leaving numbers "round" and figures "approximate." To attempt a detailed account of the various operations undertaken by detachments of the Force would be quite beyond the scope of the present volume, and such accounts to be of real value should be written by those who led the several expeditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xiv short of everything I have omitted to mention a rather curious incident that happened just on the day that Colonel Stokes arrived in Baku. On August 4th the Kursk (which had since become one of our ships) had arrived at Baku from Astrakhan with a German mission on board. As soon as the ship was tied up alongside the wharf the leader of the mission stepped ashore and asked to be directed to the Turkish Head Quarters. His surprise and disappointment were considerable when he was informed that there were no Turkish Head Quarters in Baku, that the Turks had not taken the town and never would. The entire party were taken prisoners, and I know nothing of their eventual fate; they were quite probably released by the town authorities and may have joined the many Germans and Austrians who were wandering all over the Caucasus and Trans-Caucasia at this time. It is probable from their certainty of the town being in possession of the Turks, that positive news of its capture had been sent by the wireless operators at Baku to Astrakhan on July 29th at the moment when the town had appeared, as previously related, to be already in the hands of the Turks. Questions were now asked officially by the Government as to our reasons for the arrest of the Enzeli Committee. These questions were prompted by the party who were out to discredit us in the eyes of the Baku people by proving that our real aims were counter-revolutionary. I have already described the events that led to the arrest of these officials, and it was lucky that I was able to give an explanation that not only silenced our accusers, but tended to sway popular feeUng very much in our favour. The town had no sympathy with renegades who had allied themselves with our enemies in Persia, ..

Book Synopsis On Secret Service East of Constantinople by : Peter Hopkirk
Download or read book On Secret Service East of Constantinople written by Peter Hopkirk and published by John Murray. This book was released on 2011-09-15 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the banner of a Holy War, masterminded in Berlin and unleashed from Constantinople, the Germans and the Turks set out in 1914 to foment violent revolutionary uprisings against the British in India and the Russians in Central Asia. It was a new and more sinister version of the old Great Game, with world domination as its ultimate aim. Here, told in epic detail and for the first time, is the true story behind John Buchan's classic wartime thriller Greenmantle, recounted through the adventures and misadventures of the secret agents and others who took part in it. It is an ominously topical tale today in view of the continuing turmoil in this volatile region where the Great Game has never really ceased.

Book Synopsis The Great Famine & Genocide in Iran by : Mohammad Gholi Majd
Download or read book The Great Famine & Genocide in Iran written by Mohammad Gholi Majd and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At least 8–10 million Iranians out of a population of 18–20 million died of starvation and disease during the famine of 1917–1919. The Iranian holocaust was the biggest calamity of World War I and one of the worst genocides of the 20th century, yet it remained concealed for nearly a century. The 2003 edition of this book relied primarily on US diplomatic records and memoirs of British officers who served in Iran in World War I, but in this edition these documents have been supplemented with US military records, British official sources, memoirs, diaries of notable Iranians, and a wide array of Iranian newspaper reports. In addition, the demographic data has been expanded to include newly discovered US State Department documents on Iran’s pre-1914 population. This book also includes a new chapter with a detailed military and political history of Iran in World War I. A work of enduring value, Majd provides a comprehensive account of Iran’s greatest calamity.
Book Synopsis The Caucasus Under Soviet Rule by : Alex Marshall
Download or read book The Caucasus Under Soviet Rule written by Alex Marshall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caucasus is a strategically and economically important region in contemporary global affairs. Western interest in the Caucasus has grown rapidly since 1991, fuelled by the admixture of oil politics, great power rivalry, ethnic separatism and terrorism that characterizes the region. However, until now there has been little understanding of how these issues came to assume the importance they have today. This book argues that understanding the Soviet legacy in the region is critical to analysing both the new states of the Transcaucasus and the autonomous territories of the North Caucasus. It examines the impact of Soviet rule on the Caucasus, focusing in particular on the period from 1917 to 1955. Important questions covered include how the Soviet Union created ‘nations’ out of the diverse peoples of the North Caucasus; the true nature of the 1917 revolution; the role and effects of forced migration in the region; how over time the constituent nationalities of the region came to re-define themselves; and how Islamic radicalism came to assume the importance it continues to hold today. A cauldron of war, revolution, and foreign interventions - from the British and Ottoman Turks to the oil-hungry armies of Hitler’s Third Reich - the Caucasus and the policies and actors it produced (not least Stalin, Sergo Ordzhonikidze and Anastas Mikoyan) both shaped the Soviet experiment in the twentieth century and appear set to continue to shape the geopolitics of the twenty-first. Making unprecedented use of memoirs, archives and published sources, this book is an invaluable aid for scholars, political analysts and journalists alike to understanding one of the most important borderlands of the modern world.
