The Fall of the Ottoman Empire: World War I in the Middle East. 1914–1920
In 1914, European powers were inexorably sliding into war, dragging the entire Middle East into the vortex of this destructive conflict. In his book, Eugene Rogan presents the history of World War I, revealing the consequences it brought to the Middle...
East, and the crucial – but little-known to us – role that the region played in it. The renowned British historian vividly and engagingly recounts the political intrigues and military battles that unfolded on Ottoman lands from the Gallipoli Peninsula to Arabia.
Unlike the trench warfare on the Western Front, combat operations in the Middle East were dynamic and unpredictable. Before military fortune turned in favor of the Entente powers, the Turks dealt them devastating defeats on the Gallipoli Peninsula, in Mesopotamia, and in Palestine. The post-war settlement led to the division of the Ottoman Empire and laid the groundwork for the irreconcilable contradictions that continue to tear apart the Arab world to this day.
