The Logistics and Politics of the British Campaigns in the Middle East, 1914-22 by Kristian Coates Ulrichsen

An examination of how the logistical demands of the British military campaigns in Palestine and Mesopotamia led to a more intrusive and authoritarian form of imperial control in 1917-18. This early example of Western military intervention in the Middle East provoked a localized backlash in 1919-20 whose effects continue to be felt today.
