To Kill a Sultan: A Transnational History of the Attempt on Abdülhamid II (1905) de Houssine Alloul

To Kill a Sultan: A Transnational History of the Attempt on Abdülhamid II (1905)

Editat de Houssine Alloul, Edhem Eldem, Henk de Smaele
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2019
This book explores an event described by the Times as 'one of the greatest and most sensational political conspiracies of modern times'. On 21 July 1905, just after the Friday Prayer at the Yıldız Hamidiye Mosque in Istanbul, a car bomb exploded and left 26 dead with another 58 wounded. Sultan Abdülhamid II, the target of the attack, remained unscathed. The Ottoman police soon discovered that Armenian revolutionaries were behind the plot and several people were arrested and convicted, among them the Belgian anarchist Edward Joris. His incarceration sparked international reaction and created a diplomatic conflict. The assassination attempt failed, the events faded from memory, and the plot became a footnote in early twentieth-century history. This book rediscovers the conspiracy as a transnational moment in late Ottoman history, opening a window on key themes in modern history, such as international law, terrorism, Orientalism, diplomacy, anarchism, imperialism, nationalism,mass media and humanitarianism. It provides an original look on the many trans- and international links between the Ottoman Empire, Europe and the rest of the world at the start of the twentieth century.

Recenzii

“Their study offers interesting insights in several different respects. … the book invites reading from cover to cover. Historians of modern Belgium, of national movements, of international relations and of the Europeans left will all find useful material in this book. The volume serves as a model of how the writing of transnational history can be approached as a collaborative venture." (Daniel Laqua, Journal of Belgian History, Issue 4, 2021)
