Summary: Defeat in Detail : The Ottoman Army in the Balkans, 1912-191
Comment: The Ottoman Empire fought the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 against the joint forces of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro, and Serbia - and was decisively defeated. The Ottoman Army is frequently depicted as a mob of poorly clad, faceless Turks inept in their attempts to fight a modern war. Yet by 1912, the Ottoman Army, which was constructed on the German model, was in many ways more advanced than certain European armies." "No critical analysis has ever examined the specific reasons for the Ottoman defeat. Erickson's study fills this gap by studying the operations of the Ottoman Army from October 1912 through July 1913, and by providing a comprehensive explanation of its doctrines and planning procedures. This book is written at an operational level that details every campaign at the level of the army corps. More than 30 maps, numerous orders of battle, and actual Ottoman Army operations orders illustrate how the Turks planned and fought their battles. Of particular note is the inclusion of the only detailed history in English of the Ottoman X Corps' Sarkoy amphibious invasion. Also included are a definitive appendix about Ottoman military aviation and a summary of the Turks' efforts to incorporate the lessons learned from the war into their military structure in 1914.

Summary: Written in Detail
Comment: This book tells the story of the 1912-1913 Balkan Wars using mainly the Turkish resources. Well researched in great detail and covering many aspects of these wars, it is an important contribution to that period of the European history. Although there are many typographical errors (mostly Turkish) and missing a general area map showing all the critical geographical names mentioned in the book, it completes Richard C. Hall's recent book on the same subject.
