The country’s oil reserves were a highly coveted prize for the Axis powers, and its location provided a corridor in the defence of Palestine and the Suez Canal. Had Iraq fallen to the Axis powers, Britain could have lost its foothold in the Middle East and the Mediterranean and risked losing World War II.This book examines the strategy and tactics of the Iraq campaign, the role of the Indian Army and the Arab Legion, the nature of expeditionary warfare and the complementary roles of air and land power.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 360gAuthor: Robert LymanIllustrator: Howard GerrardContributor: Howard Gerrard (Illustrated by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: CampaignTopic: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
