Description: The Ottoman
Turkish Empire was one of the leading protagonists of World War I, and the
stolid courage of the individual Ottoman soldier was recognised by all. Yet the
army in which he served is, like the Ottoman empire itself, generally little
understood.
Over the four
years of the Great War, the Ottoman Army, Navy and two tiny air services fought
on five major fronts, as well as seeing troops serve in many other war zones.
This title takes
a close look at the organisation, uniforms and equipment of the Ottoman Army
during this period, and dispels the numerous myths that have surrounded the
examinations of its forces at this time. Navy, Air, auxiliary and allied forces
are also covered.
