Sobre este artículo
Barnsley: Pen and Sword, 2010. 1st edition. As New. octavo. dust jacket ix + 326pp., b/w plates, maps, appends., bibliog., index, Townshend achieved international fame, as a captain, when he commanded the besieged garrison at Chitral in 1895. In 1916, he was given command on 6th Indian Division and sent to Mesopotamia. Here he won a series of stunning victories as his ill-supported division swept all before it in a devastating advance up the River Tigris. He triumphed brilliantly at Kurna, Amara and Kut but then, against all the tenets of military common sense, he advanced up the River Tigris to take Baghdad. By now overreached, he was confronted by a determined Turkish foe. His Division was depleted and exhausted. Townshend withdrew to Kut, where he was besieged and forced into a humiliating surrender.
