Contemporary Review, Dec 99
"This is a very thoughtful and also well researched study which
helps us to understand a war that appears almost incomprehensible
to modern Englishmen."
International History Review, Vol 22, No 1, March 2000
"This volume is a welcome addition to a body of literature largely
captivated either by military narratives or labyrinthine analyses
of diplomatic chicanery. Attempting to synthesize these two
approaches into a coherent exegesis is in itself a formidable
undertaking, for which effort Hughes deserves high praise."

"Matthew Hughes is to be congratulated on an excellent study which
casts much interesting new light on our knowledge of the First
World War. He writes lucidly and his grasp of a wide range of
material is impressive. This book is highly recommended to all
students of the Great War and of British policy in the Middle
East."

"Contributes towards the understanding of the role of the palestine
Campaigns and the British push into the Middle east during the
First World War"
"This very readable and well-researched book is a must for those
interested in the so-called side show campaigns of the First World
War."
