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.

读后感

历史的迷人之处在于它的偶然性，因其偶然而生发的连锁反应一直影响到当下甚至未来。这似乎让历史看起来，像一部标准的好莱坞故事片。 “1683年9月11日，奥斯曼帝国大军最后一次围困维也纳，这场三百多年前的“9·11”战役，有一些人把它当成2001年“9·11”事件的前身。历史的...  

只不过那本书是从阿拉伯的视角，或者说是从阿拉伯的劳伦斯的视角解读历史，而这本书更多是从奥斯曼人，特别是奥斯曼土耳其人的视角来解读一战是如何让已经病入膏肓的中东病夫彻底崩溃的。 两本书各有优劣吧。 但毫无疑问的是，不论是阿拉伯人还是土耳其人，甚至库尔德人，都被...

用户评价

今日中东诸多问题都可以追溯到奥斯曼帝国的崩溃。当年奥斯曼和大清，一个欧洲病夫，一个东亚病夫。只是奥斯曼离西方更近，受压也更早，类似戊戌变法的尝试也更早。到基马尔世俗化改革，基本西化，成了无所适从的国家，而中国仍以独特的文明立于东方。读完这本书，对英国人阴险（treacherous）、两面三刀（perfidious）和虚伪（hypocrisy）的印象进一步加深了。

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。

中规中矩，清晰明朗地讲了奥斯曼帝国在一战中的几条战线

Eugene Rogan脑残粉，赞美有声书！
