Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '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 Statesman The 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.

Book excerpt: A landmark assessment of Turkish culpability in the Armenian genocide, the first history of its kind by a Turkish historian In 1915, under the cover of a world war, some one million Armenians were killed through starvation, forced marches, forced exile, and mass acts of slaughter. Although Armenians and world opinion have held the Ottoman powers responsible, Turkey has consistently rejected any claim of intentional genocide. Now, in a pioneering work of excavation, Turkish historian Taner Akçam has made extensive and unprecedented use of Ottoman and other sources to produce a scrupulous charge sheet against the Turkish authorities. The first scholar of any nationality to have mined the significant evidence—in Turkish military and court records, parliamentary minutes, letters, and eyewitness accounts—Akçam follows the chain of events leading up to the killing and then reconstructs its systematic orchestration by coordinated departments of the Ottoman state, the ruling political parties, and the military. He also probes the crucial question of how Turkey succeeded in evading responsibility, pointing to competing international interests in the region, the priorities of Turkish nationalists, and the international community's inadequate attempts to bring the perpetrators to justice. As Turkey lobbies to enter the European Union, Akçam's work becomes ever more important and relevant. Beyond its timeliness, A Shameful Act is sure to take its lasting place as a classic and necessary work on the subject.

Download or read book History Day by Day 366 Voices from the Past written by Peter Furtado and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling day-by-day glimpse of highlights from 2,500 years of human history through 366 quotations. History Day by Day presents an original perspective on over two millennia of human history through 366 quotations, one for each day of the year, including leap years. Each quotation, tied to the anniversary of a significant historical event, captures that moment with the immediacy of an eyewitness or the narrative flair of a chronicler. Every day becomes a window to the past: on March 15, 44 BCE, Julius Caesar falls victim to Brutus and his coconspirators; on May 1, 1851, novelist Charlotte Bront visits London’s Great Exhibition; on June 28, 1919, in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, broken-spirited German delegates sign the treaty that brings World War I to its fateful conclusion; and on September 11, 2001, people across the globe watch in horror as the Twin Towers topple and change the world forever. History Day by Day embraces a wide range of voices, moods, and mediums, from the powerful to the impoverished, the revolutionary to the reactionary, the joyful to the grief-stricken, and the eyewitness to the diarist. Both engrossing anthology and informative overview of world history, History Day by Day offers readers entertainment and information in equal measure.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Atrocities in the Vilayet of Smyrna, May to July 1919: Inedited Documents and Evidence of English and French Officiers It was the venting of the helpess rage of the monopolizers and usurers, hopelessly dispossessed not of their own belongings, but of their ancient fields of cheatery. The Hellenic authorities with the profound experience that characterises them in the oppression and extermination of the allogeneous peoples who have fallen into their clutches, began, immediately after the occupation, to put into force again their former ignoble system which met with such success in the Morea, in Thessaly, in Epire, in Crete and recently also in Macedonia. It consists first of all in pouring a flood of professional bandits, of criminals of whom Greece more than any other country possesses the monopoly, into every corner of ground where a Hellenic soldier has set foot. The native Greek scoundrels are always ready to lend them a helping hand and an acute period of atrocious tyranny begins at once. While the famous agency of Athens, by a profusion of lies and slanders, of false accounts of Turkish atrocities, diverts attention and throws a thick veil over the crimes of its andartes and of its palikares, the latter more and more excited by the newspapers, assured of impunity, do not shrink from any infamy. Turkish villages burning, violations, massacres perpetrated upon peaceful Turkish inhabitants become the order of the day. The unfortunate population, persecuted, terrified, has no longer the courage to withstand such a regime: in a body they leave their homes, their villages, their crops, abandoning their fortune, their possessions, everything to save then lives and their honour. All these poor ruined fold, often bereaved of their dearest ones, are stranded miserably in the nonoccupied parts of the Mother-country. Everywhere in Turkey one meets these poor Mouhadjirs (emigrants), Cretes, Moreans, Macedonians, Epiriens, Thessalonians and others, uprooted, in quest of aid or protection, and whose tragic fate and account of their misfortunes stir the indignation of the most blase.

Download or read book Imagined Communities in Greece and Turkey written by Emine Yesim Bedlek and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1923 the Turkish government, under its new leader Kemal Ataturk, signed a renegotiated Balkan Wars treaty with the major powers of the day and Greece. This treaty provided for the forced exchange of 1.3 million Christians from Anatolia to Greece, in return for 30,000 Greek Muslims. The mass migration that ensued was a humanitarian catastrophe - of the 1.3 million Christians relocated it is estimated only 150,000 were successfully integrated into the Greek state. Furthermore, because the treaty was ethnicity-blind, tens of thousands of Muslim Greeks (ethnically and linguistically) were forced into Turkey against their will. Both the Greek and Turkish leadership saw this exchange as crucial to the state-strengthening projects both powers were engaged in after the First World War. Here, Emine Bedlek approaches this enormous shift in national thinking through literary texts - addressing the themes of loss, identity, memory and trauma which both populations experienced. The result is a new understanding of the tensions between religious and ethnic identity in modern Turkey.

Download or read book A Pearl in Peril written by Christina Luke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as "the Pearl of the Mediterranean," Izmir invokes a city and countryside blessed with good fortune; it is known to many as the homeland of Ephesus, Bergama, and Sardis. Yet, Turkey's third largest city has an especially vexed past. The Greek pursuit of the Megali Idea leveraged Classical history for 19th century political gains, and in so doing also foreshadowed the "Asia Minor Catastrophe." Princeton University's work at Sardis played into the duplicitous agendas of western archaeologists, learned societies, and diplomats seeking to structure heritage policy and international regulations in their favor, from the 1919 Paris Peace Conference to the League of Nations. A Pearl in Peril reveals the voices of those on the ground. It also explores how Howard Crosby Butler, William Hepburn Buckler, and William Berry penetrated the inner circle of world leaders, including Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George, and Eleftherios Venizelos. On the smoldering ashes of Anatolia's scorched earth, foreign intervention continued apace with plans for large-scale development. A Pearl in Peril tackles the untold story of Julian Huxley's admiration of the US Tennessee Valley Authority's "principals of persuasion" in the context of the industrial landscapes and pursuit of modernity in the Aegean. The promise of UNESCO, too, brought diplomacy dollars deployed to foster "mutual understanding" through preservation programs at Sardis. Yet, from this same pot of money came support for "open intelligence" at the international fairs held in Izmir's Kültürpark, a turnkey battleground of the Cold War. Ironically, it was UNESCO's colossal Abu Simbel project in Egypt that led the US to abandon their preservation initiatives in Turkey. Five decades on, groves of organic olives, marble quarries and gold mines not only threaten the erasure of sacred landscapes, but also ensure the livelihood of local communities. Ultimately, A Pearl in Peril offers a bold assessment of diplomatic practice, perspectives of contemporary heritage, and the challenges of unprecedented expansion of city and countryside.
