An exciting, iconoclastic history of the final years of the Ottoman Empire, published for the centenaries of many significant WW1 events The Ottoman Endgame is the first, and definitive, single-volume history of the Ottoman Empire's decade-long war for survival. Beginning with Italy's invasion of Ottoman Tripoli in September 1911, the book concludes with the establishment of Turkish independence in the Treaty of Lausanne, 1923. This is the first time an author has woven the entire epic together from start to finish - and it will cause many readers to fundamentally reevaluate their understanding of the conflict.

Anthony Ridgway
The Ottoman Endgame

This is an excellent look at the last decades of the Ottoman Empire, culminating with the momentous decision to declare war in 1914, and the succession wars before 1922. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the complexities surrounding the outbreak of war in 1914, and the tragic prosecution of the war in the middle eastern theatres is related in a compelling narrative . The author has a fresh take on an often told story and I have thoroughly enjoyed his work.
