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

摘要

The Ottoman Endgame by Sean McMeekin opens dramatically with the coronation of the last independent Ottoman emperor, Abdul Hamid, in 1876, and ends with the establishment of modern Turkey by the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. Between those two seminal events, McMeekin narrates a history of complex strategic decisions, momentous battles, and human tragedy.
