The War in the Garden of Eden

Kermit Roosevelt — Kermit Roosevelt shipped himself to the British Army in Mesopotamia and fought through the campaigns around Baghdad, Ramadi, and Tikrit.

Kermit Roosevelt shipped himself to the British Army in Mesopotamia and fought through the campaigns around Baghdad, Ramadi, and Tikrit. His book is well-written, historically vital, and almost entirely forgotten. This edition includes newspaper clippings about the Roosevelt family before WWI, campaign maps, historical photographs of Australian camel troops and desert warfare, and the author's own photographs from the front.
