War by Revolution: Germany and Great Britain in the Middle East in the Era of World War 1 - Hardcover
Synopsis
War by Revolution is the first comprehensive study of the World War I rivalry between Germany and Great Britain in the Middle East. McKale examines how both countries waged war by revolution, attempting to incite native peoples to revolt against the other. German leaders believed they could organize and exploit a unified Islam to stoke the fire of native Muslim revolts against the British in Egypt and India and they inflamed anti-British passions in the Turkish provinces of Arabia and Mesopotamia and in Libya, Abyssinia, Persia, and Afghanistan. Key British leaders panicked after defeats at Gallipoli and in Mesopotamia. With the help of T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), they assisted the Arab Revolt of 1916 that contributed to the defeat of Turkey.

Reviews
McKale (history, Clemson Univ.) provides an in-depth analysis of Anglo-German rivalry in the Middle East from about 1900 through the end of World War I. Germany and Britain both regarded the Middle East as essential to their strategic interests, and therefore both invested time and resources into attempting to gain influence with the Ottomans or their subject Arab populations. McKale argues that the results of the wartime Anglo-German rivalry were an intensification of Arab nationalism, the Arab revolt (begun in 1916), and the destruction not only of Ottoman power but eventually of European imperial power in the region. In the process, the boundaries of the modern Middle East and the political morass that troubles much of the world today were created. Solidly researched in German and British archives, this is recommended for advanced undergraduate readers and up.?Frederic Krome, Jacob Rader Marcus Ctr. of the American Jewish Archives, Cincinnati
