With the Turks in Palestine

by Alexander Aaronsohn

This is an account of a Jewish man's experiences during the beginning of WW1 in Palestine. From this book we learn that the Jews are very good, the Christians are ok, the Arabs are bad, the Turks are even worse and the Americans are the best. We also learn : That it is good to have a horse because "in a land where a horse considerably more valuable than a wife, his ownership cast quite a glamour over me." Still, author's story offers an interesting perspective on life in a region run by the Turks and their allies, the Germans, in an era when gentlemanly warfare was still common and civilian casualties were perhaps less acceptable than they seem to be in modern times.
