The Ottoman Endgame: War, Revolution, and the Making of the Modern Middle East, 1908-1923 | Sean McMeekin

1 post | 1 read | 5 to read

"Between 1911 and 1923, a series of wars-- chief among them World War I-- would engulf the Ottoman Empire and its successor states. It is a story we think we know well, but, as Sean McMeekin shows us in this revelatory new history, we know far less than we think. Drawing from his years of ground-breaking research in newly opened Ottoman and Russian archives, 'The Ottoman Endgame' brings to light the entire strategic narrative that led to an unstable new order in postwar Middle East-- much of which is still felt today"--P. [2] of cover.

#5 Being a lover of WWI and the struggles of the Turks and the Greeks (of which I am ethnically)... A slower read, took some time, slow loving, yet thorough!
