About This Item

London: Andre Deutsch, 1965. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. 8vo. Full brown cloth. B&W map endpapers. T.E.R. Slight bowing to front board, bruise to spine head. Light staining to fore edge of text block. Dust jacket is price clipped, chipped to spine head (with loss), bumped to extremities, tears to top edges. Some delamination to extremities. "The Gardeners of Salonika" as Clemenceau contemptuously labelled them, could well be called the forgotten army of the First World War. Yet the Macedonian Campaign was, in Lord Hankey's words, 'the most controversial of the so-called sideshows.' The book tells the story of this extraordinary polyglot army - it included, at various times, contingents from seven countries - from the first landing at Salonika in 1915 to the peace in 1918; at the same time it deals with the political and strategic background: the ceaseless argument in London and Paris over the future of the Salonika army, the maze of Greek politics in which the army and its commanders became involved and in particular the personalities of two remarkable French officers who commanded the army, General Sarrail and Marshal Franchet d'Esperey.
