Publisher's Synopsis
The 1918 Battle of Megiddo was not only the last large cavalry offensive in world history, but also a tribute to combined arms operations fostered over the course of the Great War. Its success is attributable to logistics, being a crucial part of the success of any military operation. The loss of the Ottomans and consequent victory of Allied forces would not have been possible without good Allied logistics in the face of poor Ottoman logistics. While this battle did not determine the outcome of World War I in the Middle East, the ramifications of the Allied victory shaped greatly the post-war world in the region.
