Kut: The Death of an Army by Ronald Millar
Requirements: ePUB reader, 9 MB
Overview: Kut: The Death of an Army is the fascinating, yet largely forgotten, story of the British-Indian Army, which was besieged in Mesopotamia from 1915 to 1916. It is an expert account of the tragic five-month Turkish siege, in which their enemies essentially outlasted them.
The author reveals the day-to-day preoccupations of not only the Anglo-Indian forces, but their enemies – the Turks – as well as local civilians caught in the chaos. Throughout the campaign, the British were beaten back by the Turks, and the ever-prevalent human suffering of the men, so far away from home in this foreign ground, less than helped the cause: starvation, heavy shelling, inadequate medical supplies and disease were all taking their toll. By the end of the campaign, approximately 30,000 British and Indian soldiers had lost their lives.
