The Ottoman endgame : war, revolution and the making of the modern Middle East, 1908-1923
McMeekin, Sean, 1974-2015
Books, Manuscripts
Sean McMeekin provides a definitive history of the Ottoman Empire's decade-long war for survival. Beginning with Italy's invasion of Tripoli in September 1911, the opening salvo in what would soon spiral into a European conflict, it concludes with the establishment of Turkish independence in the Treaty of Lausanne, 1923. This is perhaps the first time an author has woven the entire epic together from start to finish, and it will cause many to fundamentally reevaluate their understanding of the conflict. The consequences, well into the 21st century, could not have been more momentous.
