Scorpion Sunset

1916 Mesopotamia. The Turks order prisoners from the siege of Kut to march the hundreds of miles to Baghdad. The men are weak from starvation after the five-month siege with many suffering from dysentery scabies and malaria. They have no medical supplies - and then the hot weather begins... Hundreds of men die on the march the stragglers killed by Arab tribesmen; those too ill to move are left behind to die. Soon though the tide of war turns and eventually the British march victorious into Baghdad.
