The small seed that grew from a meeting in the desert led to the start of the Arab revolt. It beggars belief the story of Lawrence and what was actually achieved. The actual outcome of the revolt with small numbers outshines the main offensive thrust by Allenby. The book sets out the actual campaign for the Middle East and the part played by the Arabs....more

Interesting story on the inner workings of the Provisional IRA and in particular the agent Stakeknife.

I had just previously read the story of Stakeknife and thought the premise that the IRA had been thoroughly infiltrated a little excessive, however this book shows this to be largely true. The work of the East Tyrone brigade illustrates the level of commitment these men had to the cause and how normal people felt about the environment of segregation and discrimination can lead to such outcomes. I very enjoyable book well worth a read....more

A very good and brief background to the genocide and the Armenian response. It appears well researched and solely concentrates on Operation Nemesis, which is a strength of this book,. The events post Ataturk highlights and explains the absence of any discussion of the Genocide in the current environment. I recognised Bogosian as the actor not realising his skill in writing. A very good read....more
