In the marvelous book the Turks are depicted as both brutal and inept. This first hand account, written at the time of World War 1 shows the brutality of the Turks to all who were not Moslem. Their cruel methods and regard for nothing humane are visible as the author recounts his harrowing escape from Palastine, now Israel. The genocide of 1 million Armenians is also discussed in references to what might also happen to the Christians and Jews of the land. The Christians had lived peaceably with the Turks for hundreds of years and so too the Jews, yet the Turks inexplicably viewed them as enemies. This book is told with a real life presence, which was authentic and current at its time, not a history written some decades later. It is a short, engaging read.

In this, the centenary year of the 1917 Balfour Declaration, in which the British promised the world's Jews 'a national homeland', it is important to recall what Palestine then was, and might one day be again: a 'magically benign' place.

With The Turks In Palestine is a non-fiction book written by Alexander Aaronsohn. The book is a personal account of the author's experiences during World War I, specifically his time spent in Palestine as a spy for the British forces. Aaronsohn, who was born in Palestine and had a deep connection to the land, provides readers with a unique perspective on the conflict between the British and Ottoman forces. He details his interactions with Turkish soldiers, his work as a spy for the British, and his involvement in the Jewish resistance movement. The book also delves into the political and social climate of Palestine during this time, including discussions on Zionism and the Jewish community's relationship with the British. With The Turks In Palestine is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East, World War I, or espionage.However, the German officers were by no means all incompetents. They realized (I soon found out) that they had little hope of bringing a big army through the Egyptian desert and making a successful campaign there. Their object was to immobilize a great force of British troops around the Canal, to keep the Mohammedan population in Palestine impressed with Turkish power, and to stir up religious unrest among the natives in Egypt. It must be admitted that in the first two of these purposes they have been successful.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
