Beschreibung

This unique archaeological account from Nicholas Saunders tells the story of the origins of modern guerrilla warfare during the Arab Revolt of 1916-18. The discovery of an unknown conflict landscape reveals the dramatic exploits of T. E. Lawrence, Emir Feisal, Bedouin warriors, and their attacks on the Hejaz Railway during the First World War.
