| Summary | "With the Persian Expedition" by Major M. H. Donohoe is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work details Donohoe's experiences as part of a military campaign during World War I, specifically focusing on a lesser-known operation in Persia and Transcaucasia that involved a group referred to as "Dunsterforce." The book aims to shed light on the unique challenges faced by this unit and the region's complex geopolitical landscape. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the "Hush-hush Brigade," a group of soldiers embarking on a mission from Taranto, Italy, to engage in military operations in Persia. The author introduces various characters, including officers from different Commonwealth countries and their unique backgrounds. Throughout this section, Donohoe provides insight into the logistical challenges and the diverse, often rugged locales they traverse while also hinting at the cultural encounters they face along the way, establishing the book’s blend of military history, adventure, and a touch of personal reflection.
