The expeditionary force, or 'Army of the East', was despatched to Turkey nominally to support the Ottoman Empire in its war with Russia; but in reality to check, in alliance with France and later Sardinia, Russian ambitions for an outlet to the Mediterranean. Despite many failures in the conduct of operations and administration, the war was won in two years and Russian designs on the Balkans and Levant were thwarted for two decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Barthorp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0850458277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780850458275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.26w x 0.20d","brand":"Michael Barthorp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652115984639,"sku":"9780850458275","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_334023a7-2e07-4c96-a249-64d08ea5053c.jpg?v=1704214639","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-british-army-on-campaign-michael-barthorp-9780850458275","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
