Moberly does a great job of covering the disparate facets of the operations in Persia, since for the majority of the war, they were directed from various quarters, but under the overarching cognizance of London and India. Great details on Sir Percy Sykes' South Persia Rifles, Dunsterville's move towards the Causcasus, and some very good detais on the campaign in Eastern Persia under Dyer and Malleson.
Moberly also has good source documents covering the German's attempt to raise the banner of jihad in Persia, or at least at best rally the tribes to agitate against the English and the very weak governments that governed somewhat ineffectively from Tehran. His coverage of Wassmuss and Niedermayer's (et al) exploits is as good as it gets, albeit probably not as engaging a read as it has been recounted by Hopkirk.
Not exactly bed-time reading due to the very detailed coverage of the campaign, but nonetheless a great recounting of a forgotten aspect of WWI. ( )
