Though this could be taken as a blind position in favor of one single stick in a broom, the success of Sheffy is in that he has been able to present a systematic array of evidences to prove his position5. Notwithstanding these strong evidences presented by Sheffy, the argument of Pipes cannot be accepted wholly just because both Sheffy and Pipes in support of him have ignored other political and social factors that led to the victory of the British in this war6. The photograph of a native British secret agent in Palestine during that period, given in the beginning of the book itself provides a vivid view of the nature of British intelligence system of that era and also the way it worked through finding inroads into the local life7. It is the human element of intelligence gathering that is highlighted here, but this photograph seems to be intentionally given by Sheffy so as to emphasize the historic departure of British intelligence from human-centered intelligence gathering techniques to technology-assisted methods. ...

examples, the author proves the historicity of the human-centered British military intelligence that spans across the early period of Ottoman Empire9. The systematic way in which Britain attained information about the topography of Palestine as early as from the middle of nineteenth century through the setting up of British Palestine Exploration Fund and the way in which British military used this cultural excavations to gather relevant military intelligence is an instance that the author describes as an improvement on the same10. By pointing to how the development of rail system in Palestine and Syria became a matter of military concern for the British, the intricacies of an intelligence operation system is curiously revealed by the author11. The railway development in Palestine was a real headache to the British because it imparted the Ottoman army greater mobility and speedier access to the border regions, says the author12. According to the author, this was one of the moments in history that made technological upgradation a felt need for military intelligence. As the British had been on war with the Ottoman state since 1914, Sheffy has arranged his narrative into two historical parts- the period of 20th century before the onset of the war and the period immediately after that and up to the end of the war13. While looking at the period before the start of the war, attention is focused on how the British military made its plans and how they were linked with the intelligence resources at hand14. When the narrative enters the year of 1914, the transition from war to peace is described through explaining the political strategic power equations between Egypt, Britain, Germany and the Ottoman state.
