In 1912, the Balkan states formed an alliance in an effort to break free from the crumbling Ottoman Empire. Forming an army of some 645,000 troops from Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenego, they took on a force of 400,000 Turkish soldiers. Both sides were equipped with the latest weapons technology. This book looks at the diverse and sometimes colourful uniforms worn by both sides, paying special attention to insignia, weapons and equipment. It also gives an overview of the campaigns that became a 'priming pan' of World War I.

In The Balkan Wars 1912-1913, Richard Hall examines the origins, the enactment and the resolution of the Balkan Wars, during which the Ottoman Empire fought a Balkan coalition of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and Serbia. The Balkan Wars of 1912 - 1913 opened an era of conflict in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century, which lasted until 1918, and which established a basis for problems which tormented Europe until the end of the century. Based on archival as well as published diplomatic and military sources, this book provides the first comprehensive perspective on the diplomatic and military aspects of the Balkan Wars. It demonstrates that, because of the diplomatic problems raised and the military strategies and tactics pursued to resolve those problems, The Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 were the first phase of the greater and wider conflict of the First World War.

Excerpt from An American Soldier Under the Greek Flag at Bezanie: A Thrilling Story of the Siege of Bezanie by the Greek Army, in Epirus, During the War in the Balkans Colonel Thomas S. Hutchison of Tennessee has recently returned from Greece, where he has been serving as a volunteer in the Greek army. His long service as a soldier reads like a novel. His military career started when he was a boy seventeen years of age. He joined the famous Washington Artillery of Tennessee, as a private soldier, and while a member of that battery saw hard service in the mountains of East Tennessee during the mining troubles that so frequently occurred. He remained a private soldier only a very short while, as he was quick to learn, and was rapidly promoted to Gun Corporal, Gun Sergeant, Quartermaster-Sergeant, and finally became the First Sergeant of the battery. He had held all of the positions from private to first sergeant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
