Teddy Roosevelt's son kept a great record of his adventures through the middle east, France and Germany as he fought in WWI. His writing style is very matter of fact, and his descriptions of the surroundings are sometimes very clear and other times very vague. It really reads more like a personal journal than a war story, and he leaves out a great deal about the fighting itself. He tends to sum it up very matter of factly by stating how bad the fighting was on a particular day and nothing else. He goes into great detail about the people he meets (including Colonel Lawrence of Lawrence of Arabia fame, for example) It's not terribly well written but it's certainly not boring. It's very interesting, and a great buy for anyone who wonders what it was like to be on the ground during the Great War.

Having served in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom I was interested in comparing World War I era experiences with my own. Kermit Roosevelt, the author, a son of President Theodore Roosevelt, visited many of the places (Baghdad, Hila, Karbala, Ramadi) that I had the opportunity to visit. By the author's descriptions much remains the same, particularly in remote areas, while urban areas have seen considerable change. The market areas, in particular, of cities and villages with merchants hawking their wares and the teeming masses of people have changed very little. The book is concise; Roosevelt gets a lot of mileage out of a thin volume. He wastes no words as he succinctly relates his experiences in Mesopotamia as an officer with the British Army and concludes his account as an officer with the US Army on occupation duty in Germany at the end of World War I. This book is very well written by an author in whose name was established in 1947 by the US Army Command and General Staff College the Kermit Roosevelt Exchange Lecture Series which involves an annual exchange of American and British lecturers. This book should be of interest to anyone who is interested in military history or the background to some of the recent history of the Middle East.

By Charles Kovacs This is a short, pleasant and interesting read about the British campaign in Northern Iraq during the First World War. It was written shortly after that war, and so its style not pc. That said, it is a valuable book about a little known campaign, and especially interesting as the author served with a unit equipped with Rolls Royce armored cars. Many of the place names will be familiar with readers following the news from Iraq since 2003, and all should find this little book useful for background and/or as encouragement for finding out more about the Mesopotamian Campaign.The book concludes with a couple of chapters about Kermit Roosevelt's experience as a battery commander in France towards the end of WWI and afterwards in the occupation of the Rhineland. These are also interesting, not so much as battle history, but as a description of life in a combat unit of the AEF.The book appears to be an excerpt from a longer memoir. It would have been good to know how the author came to serve as an officer in the British Army and why and how in Iraq.
