Shortly after the end of the First World War, General Sir George Macdonagh, wartime director of British Military Intelligence, revealed that Lord Allenby's victory in Palestine had never been in doubt because of the success of his intelligence service.

Inhaltsangabe

Contemporary Review - " a most valuable contribution to our understanding
of what was called a "side show" of the Great War...a first rate study of
military intelligence at work" Bulletin of the Military Historical Society-
