The final destruction of the Ottoman Empire - one of the great epics of the First World War, from bestselling historian Eugene Rogan
For some four centuries the Ottoman Empire had been one of the most powerful states in Europe as well as ruler of the Middle East. By 1914 it had been drastically weakened and circled by numerous predators waiting to finish it off. Following the Ottoman decision to join the First World War on the side of the Central Powers the British, French and Russians hatched a plan to finish the Ottomans off: an ambitious and unprecedented invasion of Gallipoli...
Eugene Rogan's remarkable book recreates one of the most important but poorly understood fronts of the First World War. Despite fighting back with great skill and ferocity against the Allied onslaught and humiliating the British both at Gallipoli and in Mesopotamia (Iraq), the Ottomans were ultimately defeated, clearing the way for the making, for better or worse, of a new Middle East which has endured to the present.

Recenzii
"A

and
well-researched

Mazower,Financial
Times
"Rogan has written an impressively sound and fair-minded account of the fall of the Ottoman Empire."—Max Hastings,Sunday Times(London)
"[An] assured account.... The book stands alongside the best histories."—Economist
"The book is not only exact and readable but also has the elements of a thriller and thus is all the more remarkable in view of its thoroughness in covering a linguistically and historically difficult subject."—Wall Street Journal
"This engrossing history unfolds in the Middle Eastern theatre of the First World War, capturing the complex array of battles, brutalities, and alliances that brought down the six-hundred-year-old Ottoman Empire.... Rogan argues that the empire's ultimate demise was the result not of losing the war but of a clumsily negotiated peace. His balanced narrative unearths many seeds of current conflicts."—
"Admirable and thoroughly researched.... A comprehensive history of World War I in the Middle East."—New York Review of Books
"[An] intricately worked but very readable account of the Ottoman theocracy's demise.... This is an extraordinary tale and Rogan recounts it well."—New York Times
"To have written a page-turner as well as an accurate and comprehensive history of the Ottoman struggle for survival is a remarkable achievement."—Wall Street Journal
"Asthe Middle East is collapsing all around us, if you wanted to know where it allbegan and when, read this great book by a great Oxford historian."—Fareed Zakaria,Fareed Zakaria GPS, Book of the Week
"[Rogan's]account is geopolitical and military writing at its best - taut, anecdotal andextraordinarily researched. A tangled story, to be sure, one that both commandsand rewards the reader's attention."—Washington Times
"Acomprehensive, lucid and revealing history.... This book will surely become thedefinitive history of the war."—The Times(UK)
"TheFall of the Ottomansis a remarkably lucid and accessible work of history,involving a large cast of contradictory and complex characters....

"EugeneRogan has given us an absorbing history of the war's principal military andpolitical battles in the Middle East through the eyes of those who fought them."—Mustafa Aksakal, chair of Modern Turkish Studies and associate professor of history at Georgetown University
"[A]masterly history of the Ottoman empire in its final years.... Eugene Rogan haswritten a meticulously researched, panoramic and engrossing history.

Allawi,The Spectator(UK)
"Afantastic, readable, and much needed study of the most chronically neglected ofall of the Great War's participants: the Ottoman Empire. Informative andenlightening."—Alexander Watson,author ofRing of Steel: Germany and Austria-Hungary in World War I

Combining magisterial scholarship witha keen sense of drama and lively narrative style, it tells a grim story but afascinating one.... If you want to understand the underlying causes of conflictand violence in the Middle East in the last century, you will not find a betterbook."—Avi Shlaim,author ofThe Iron Wall: Israel and the Arab World
"Thisbook opens up a window on vital chapters in the shaping of the Middle East aswell as the history of the Great War, bringing together vivid personal detailswith a broad historical panorama of human suffering and heroism, theincompetence and folly of the general staffs, and the scheming of the greatpowers."—Rashid Khalidi,author ofResurrecting Empire: Western Footprints and America's Perilous Path in the Middle East
"Thoroughly researched and elegantly written by one ofthe leading experts on the region,The Fall of the Ottomansreminds usthat the 1914-18 conflict was truly a world war with huge and continuingconsequences.
