Uncover a fascinating glimpse into WWI on the Mesopotamian front.

Few people truly know about Iraq’s role in World War One. The stage of a desperate struggle against the Ottomans, the story of brave men who lived and served in this harsh landscape is often overshadowed by the battles in Europe and North Africa.

But now, this memoir explores the life and duty of Frank Wooten, an American, serving as a British officer in the Mesopotamian Motor Machine Gun Corps. Told with gripping detail and offering profound insights into the lesser-known and often-overlooked Middle Eastern theater, this book provides a unique perspective of the war to end all wars.

Recounting Frank’s daily life on the front, his duties throughout the war, and the incredible people he met along the way, Journey into Eden is a fascinating book, perfect for anyone interested in the lesser-known stories of World War One, the history of the Iraq War, and the nature of life on the front.

This book was a fresh look at WW1 through the eyes of one out in the field not from the rear. It is a pity that it ended as it did, but it was prevalent in the aftermath of the war. I enjoyed this book.

This is the second book I have read/listened to by War History Journals and I would listen to another. In fact, I have Mission to Ireland next in my queue. I have not completed the book yet, but I’m thoroughly enjoying it. There is a lot of information. Frank’s recollection of the events, peoples and sights are quite detailed. ——-

This is the first book I have listened to by this narrator ( Gary Williams ) and I would gladly listen to another. His voice is very pleasant to listen to and he has comfortable pacing. His level of expression is appropriate for this material.——-

Listening to the officer's journal would have been infinitely better if the narrator knew the hill of crucifixion (Calvary) from an Army mounted division (Cavalry).
The journal is something of a travelogue and history of the areas in which he served and the varied armies serving as allies with the British troops this American served with. It was very interesting to recognize the places we know from wars eighty years later as well as distant history. The notable people like Gertrude Bell and T. E. Lawrence were favorably and personally remembered, and the maps of the day sounded a lot like our current trials with Google Maps. I totally enjoyed the information!

It's still a war torn area

What I liked the most about this book was the coverage of a lesser series of battles. I knew there was fighting their by the local tribes with the Germans mixed up in it. The WW I German probably put their lessor command structures there - to get experience for the next war. The whole time the fighting went on, it seems the "fog of war" was 2-3 times thicker than most of the fighting in Europe had. I highly recommend this book. Now for the obligatory: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Tremendous Story

The style is a little unusual but is a good read.
Obviously based on personal memoirs and diaries of the main character .

An unusual tale of ww1

well interesting, the book had a hard time holding my interest. it seems like the author glazed over what I would have thought would have been very important aspects of his experience and then went into detail on things that were not so interesting.

Interesting but not compellingly written
