• Sommario/riassunto: Allenby's Final Triumph by W. T. Massey provides a detailed account of General Allenby's strategic military campaign during World War I in Palestine and Syria. The book highlights the challenges faced by Allenby, including the need to reorganize his forces and the innovative use of camouflage and cavalry. Massey argues that Allenby's victory was pivotal in the broader context of the war, hastening the collapse of the Central Powers. The narrative aims to correct misconceptions about the ease of Allenby's campaign and to emphasize his significant role in securing an Allied victory. This work is intended for readers interested in military history, particularly those with a focus on World War I and Middle Eastern operations.
