Moberly does a great job of covering the disparate facets of the operations in Persia, since for the majority of the war, they were directed from various quarters, but under the overarching cognizance of London and India. Great details on Sir Percy Sykes' South Persia Rifles, Dunsterville's move towards the Causcasus, and some very good detais on the campaign in Eastern Persia under Dyer and Malleson.
