Among the many " side-shows " of the Great War, few are so 

 difficult for the average reader to understand as the operations in 

 Northern Persia, an offshoot of the Bagdhad venture, which had 

 for their object the policing of the warlike tribes in an area 

 almost unknown to Europeans, and included the various attempts 

 to reach and hold Baku, and so get command of the Caspian and 

 Caucasia. 



The story of these operations carried out by little, half- 

 forgotten bodies of troops, mainly local levies who broke at the 

 critical moment and left their British officers and N.C.O.'s to 

 carry on alone is one of the most amazing of the whole War, 

 and comprises many episodes that recall the most stirring events 

 of the Empire's pioneering days. 



By happy chance, Major M. H. Donohoe, the famous War 

 Correspondent, whose work for the Daily Chronicle in all the 

 wars of the past twenty years is well known, was in this part 

 of the world as a Major on the Intelligence Staff, work for 

 which his knowledge of men and languages off the beaten tract 

 peculiarly fitted him. He has written the story of these opera- 

 tions as he saw them, chiefly as a member of the Staff of the 

 Military Mission under General Byron, known officially as the 

 "Baghdad Party,'.' and unofficially as the "Hush-Hush Brigade," 

 which set forth early in 1918 to join the Column under General 

 Dunsterville. Though there is little of fighting in the story, the 

 book gives an admirable picture of the Empire's work done faith- 

 fully under difficulties, and glimpses of places and peoples that 

 are almost unknown even to the most venturesome traveller. 

 Indeed, it is largely as a book about an unknown land that this 

 volume will attract, together with its little pen-portraits of men 

 and little pen-pictures of adventures, that Kipling would love.

How the war, as seen at close quarters, struck a man eminent 

 in another profession than that of arms is the distinguishing 

 feature of this volume of personal impressions. It is not, how-
