Armoured Cars in Eden - An American President's son serving in Rolls Royce Armoured Cars with the British in Mesopotamia and with the American Artillery in France during the First World War

Om Armoured Cars in Eden - An American President's son serving in Rolls Royce Armoured Cars with the British in Mesopotamia and with the American Artillery in France during the First World War

Armoured Cars in Eden. A president's son at war in the land that became modern day Iraq. This is the story of a young American man serving in a little documented force in an almost forgotten campaign. More remarkably, he was from a background of military tradition and adventure and the son of a former United States president. His war was against the Turkish Ottoman Empire, his service that of a volunteer in the British army, his familiar locations Negef, Falujah, Baghdad - exotic place names once again familiar to Americans at war. His is a story of parallels and contrasts - of religious sensitivities, rivalries, civil unrest, occupying armies and conflict along the Euphrates and Tigris rivers almost a century ago. Roosevelt's experiences conclude in the Argonne at the end of hostilities.
