'A tour de force of accessible scholarship' The Guardian'Impressive
... It is a complicated story that still reverberates, and Gingeras
narrates it with lucid authority' New StatesmanThe Ottoman Empire
had been one of the major facts in European history since the
Middle Ages. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the
Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with
the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor
to Mohammed.Yet the Empire's fateful decision to support Germany
and Austria-Hungary in 1914 doomed it to disaster, breaking it up
into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an
independent Saudi Arabia. Ryan Gingeras's superb new book explains
how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still
live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago. Would all of the
Empire fall to marauding Allied armies, or could something be
saved? In such an ethnically and religiously entangled region, what
would be the price paid to create a cohesive and independent new
state? The story of the creation of modern Turkey is an
extraordinary, bitter epic, brilliantly told here.
