Eugene Rogan is a Fellow of St. Antony’s College and lectures in the Modern History of the Middle East at the University of Oxford. The author of The Arabs, Rogan lives in Oxford, England.
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.

今讀完這本《奧斯曼帝國衰亡》,感覺這本書把一戰與奧斯曼帝國的滅亡那段曆史梳理的非常清楚,這本書讓我看到今天中東亂局的主要根源,英國,法國,俄國,美國和德國與奧斯曼帝國有著韆絲萬縷的關係,扯也扯不斷。 那個時候,德國和奧斯曼帝國的交好使俄國産生報復行為,英法兩...
評分奧斯曼帝國,原就是在戰爭和侵略的基礎上建立起來的。在強大的帝國統治下,各種族各宗教相安無事的活動在帝國的羽翼之下。就算是自己的十指也有長短之差一樣,帝國對於治下的人民也並非一視同仁。嫉妒與怨恨一點點的積纍,等待著爆發時機的到來。當帝國式微,旗下的各民族就打...
評分歐亞分界綫,博斯普魯斯海峽,藍色土耳其總是給人無限的遐想。曾經看過土耳其作傢帕慕剋的一本書:伊斯坦布爾,一座城市的記憶。裏麵流露齣一絲淡淡的憂傷。帕慕剋在感嘆帝國輝煌的一去不返。如果瞭解到奧斯曼帝國曾經的輝煌,就會理解帕慕剋為什麼有著榮光不再的感嘆。 作為一...
評分我們通常將一戰定義為歐洲帝國主義分贓不均引起的不義戰,留給後人最深刻的記憶莫過於凡爾登絞肉機、索姆河大戰、十月革命、巴黎和會等等。但是,這場大戰的另外一個主戰場——奧斯曼帝國卻一再被人忽視。瞭解事實之前, 大傢對“西亞病夫”的錶現也並未報什麼期待,最多不過是...

The First World War was a turning point of world history, and it dictated the course of 20 century in a way could hardly be underestimated. But most of the history we read focused on the European battlegrounds, and a century later we suddenly realized the war in the near east front may surpass the one in the west to become a more significant even..
評分Eugene Rogan腦殘粉,贊美有聲書!
評分作者是牛津中東研究中心的主任。這本書主要是迴顧瞭奧斯曼在一戰中的錶現,涉及瞭非常多細節。如果是對戰爭史特彆有興趣的人可以看一看,不然就算瞭。
