A detailed official account of the British campaign in Mesopotamia during the First World War, this work was compiled from government records and military documentation under the direction of the Committee of Imperial Defence. Covering operations across modern day Iraq, the set provides a comprehensive narrative of strategy, logistics, and battlefield developments in a theatre often overshadowed by the Western Front. These volumes remain among the most authoritative primary sources for understanding British military activity in the Middle East during the war.
