THE FIRST IRAQ WAR 1914-1918

Britain's Mesopotamian Campaign
New Introduction by Joseph Morrison Skelly

$ 22.00

When the war began, victory seemed assured as British forces easily secured the head of the Persian Gulf, a move mainly designed to protect British oil interests. The British commanding general then decided to march on to Baghdad, but his effort fell short and he was defeated at Ctesiphon and forced to retreat to Kut where the Ottoman army cut him to pieces. The British had to reorganize and by the time they swept the Turks out of Mesopotamia, they had suffered 100,000 casualties and spent the colossal sum of 350 million pounds sterling by 1918. The Ottoman army was forced to evacuate Baghdad and Enver Pasha lost Mesopotamia. As distinguished author Colonel A.J. Barker notes, the campaign began and ended under the handicap of unnecessary strategic goals, but while it was also ill conceived and ill directed it saw nevertheless some of the most courageous and tragic soldiering of the First World War.

THE JEWS IN FASCIST ITALY. A HISTORY

Translated by Robert L. Miller
Introduction by Michael Ledeen

$ 38.00

The complete history of Mussolini's racial laws aimed at the Jews in Italy. The first pioneering study of anti-Semitic persecution in a single country.
“My aim was to explain in detail the facts surrounding Fascist anti-Semitism and the persecution of the Jews in Mussolini’s Italy. Too many people in Italy and elsewhere underestimate or deny the tragic fate of European Jewry and anti-Semitism between the two world wars. A few short years ago anti-Semitism appeared defeated and reduced to a tiny group of fanatics. But now it seems to be regaining ground in its more political incarnation, probably the most dangerous one, because next to the religious, social and economic varieties it is the most insidious of all.” -----Renzo De Felice
