In 1914 the Ottoman Empire was depleted of men and resources after years of war against Balkan nationalist and Italian forces. But in the aftermath of the assassination in Sarajevo, the powers of Europe were sliding inexorably toward war, and not even the Middle East could escape the vast and enduring consequences of one of the most destructive conflicts in human history. The Great War spelled the end of the Ottomans, unleashing powerful forces that would forever change the face of the Middle East.

In The Fall of the Ottomans, award-winning historian Eugene Rogan brings the First World War and its immediate aftermath in the Middle East to vivid life, uncovering the often ignored story of the region’s crucial role in the conflict. Bolstered by German money, arms, and military advisors, the Ottomans took on the Russian, British, and French forces, and tried to provoke Jihad against the Allies in their Muslim colonies. Unlike the static killing fields of the Western Front, the war in the Middle East was fast-moving and unpredictable, with the Turks inflicting decisive defeats on the Entente in Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, and Gaza before the tide of battle turned in the Allies’ favor. The great cities of Baghdad, Jerusalem, and, finally, Damascus fell to invading armies before the Ottomans agreed to an armistice in 1918.

The postwar settlement led to the partition of Ottoman lands between the victorious powers, and laid the groundwork for the ongoing conflicts that continue to plague the modern Arab world. A sweeping narrative of battles and political intrigue from Gallipoli to Arabia, The Fall of the Ottomans is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the Great War and the making of the modern Middle East.

一战改变了欧洲，二战改变了世界。 在我看来，100多年前发生的这次大战，就犹如一位日渐强壮的青年人-德国，为了从一群拥有既得利益的中年人-英/法/俄手中得到自己的荣耀与权利，而拉着另外两个日薄西山的老人-奥匈/奥斯曼帝国一起发动的战争。 一直以来，人们习惯于从欧洲各国...

用户评价

作者是牛津中东研究中心的主任。这本书主要是回顾了奥斯曼在一战中的表现，涉及了非常多细节。如果是对战争史特别有兴趣的人可以看一看，不然就算了。

比较平铺直叙且足够通俗的政治/军事史，分析较少，但当故事书看的话还是挺好看～

Eugene Rogan脑残粉，赞美有声书！
