Résumé
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 Sean McMeekin shows us that we know far less… than we think. Drawing from his years of ground-breaking research in newly opened Ottoman and Russian archives, the book 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. 2015.
