The Fall of the Ottomans

The final destruction of the Ottoman Empire - one of the great epics of the First World War

Eugene Rogan's remarkable book recreates one of the most important but poorly understood fronts of the First World War. For four centuries, the Ottoman Empire had been one of the most powerful states in Europe as well as ruler of the Middle East. By 1914, it had been drastically weakened and circled by numerous predators waiting to finish it off. Following the Ottoman decision to join the First World War on the side of the Central Powers, the British, French, and Russians hatched a plan to finish the Ottomans off β€” an ambitious and unprecedented invasion of Gallipoli.

The Fall of the Ottomans provides an essential understanding of this crucial period in history, offering insights into the strategies, battles, and political manoeuvres that ultimately led to the end of the Ottoman Empire.
