Ottoman Twilight in the Arab Lands

The Great War is still seen as a mostly European war. The Middle Eastern theatre is, at best, considered a sideshow written from the western perspective. This book fills a gap in the literature by giving an insight through annotated translations from Ottoman memoirs of actors who witnessed the last few years of Turkish presence in the Arab lands.

Marele Razboi este inca vazut ca un razboi preponderent european. Teatrul din Orientul Mijlociu este, in cel mai bun caz, considerat un spectacol secundar scris din perspectiva occidentala.
