Carry On! A Story of the Fight for Bagdad
Produced by Al Haines
"Carry On! A Story of the Fight for Bagdad" by Herbert Strang is a historical adventure novel written during the early 20th century. The book is set during World War I and revolves around the tumultuous events in Mesopotamia, particularly focusing on the characters Roger Burnet and Captain Ellingford as they navigate the dangers surrounding the fight for Bagdad. The narrative emerges from a backdrop of ancient ruins and the ongoing conflict between British forces and the Ottoman Empire. The opening of the story introduces readers to the historical significance of Mesopotamia while transitioning into a contemporary conflict, bringing to life the character of Roger Burnet, who has a personal connection to the land through his father, an archaeologist. Together with Captain Ellingford, Burnet arrives at a tell (an archaeological mound) where they discover remnants of ancient civilization. As they explore, they encounter the immediate threat posed by local tribesmen, hinting at the fierce struggles and moral dilemmas that lie ahead. The early chapters lay the groundwork for a plot filled with espionage, cultural conflict, and personal choices, creating a gripping atmosphere that invites the reader deeper into the narrative.
