The Last Crusade
註釋The campaign in Palestine helped make that region the trouble spot it is today and this account of it uncovers the full history. It was a tough and fast-moving campaign, fought against a formidable enemy in harsh terrain and sometimes stupefying heat. Its highpoints - T.E. Lawrence's capture of Aqaba with a charge of Arab horsemen, and Allenby's victory march through the streets of Jerusalem - are well known, but there is much more that is equally gripping. Anthony Bruce has produced a comprehensive history using all the sources, including the experiences of those who took part.
