Philip Jowett is Osprey's usual author when it comes to 20th-century wars and armies in what might have been considered secondary theaters of action, though with developments in the lands of the former Ottoman Empire and China one might argue that the tables have been turned. Be that as it may, this booklet is up to Jowett's previous standards in providing an overview of the action and the nuts and bolts of the forces involved; no one does better with making a chronological outline serve the purposes of narrative than Osprey. About the only thing to be missed is some bibliographic apparatus, and Osprey has a strong enough website that they should really start providing such information there; it is to be admitted that 48 pages is a brutal length to work with.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Osprey Men-at-Arms (501)
This is a comprehensive guide to the armies that fought a devastating and decisive conflict in the Eastern Mediterranean between the two World Wars of the 20th century. From the initial Greek invasion, designed to "liberate" the 100,000 ethnic Greeks that lived in Western Turkey and had done for centuries, to Mustapha Kemal Ataturk's incredibly efficient formation of a national government and a regular army, this was a war that shaped the geopolitical landscape of the Mediterranean to this day. It gave birth to the modern Turkish state, displacing millions and creating bitter memories of atrocities committed by both sides. Augmented with very rare photographs and beautiful illustrations, this ground-breaking title explores the history, organization, and appearance of the armies, both guerilla and conventional, that fought in this bloody war.
