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.

看完瞭《阿拉伯的勞倫斯》,瞭解漢誌戰場和阿拉伯起義,以及耳熟能詳的哈希姆王朝的崛起,那本書是以勞倫斯等4個主人公的視角描述瞭一戰的中東戰場,但是主要還是聚焦於協議國,雖然其中有一個德國人。但是站在奧斯曼土耳其的視角,一戰是什麼樣子的,這個帝國是如何輸掉戰爭,...
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...
評分奧斯曼帝國在一戰前的情況和中國很相似,帝國已經到瞭岌岌可危的地步,有誌之士尋求富國強兵的變革之路,所謂有誌之士,多數都是現有體製下不得誌的人員。 而帝國的既得利益者,當然不會輕易去妥協。 這時候就産生瞭衝突,而衝突的結果隻能是一方消滅另一方,這就是所謂的革命...

評分我們該如何理解今天中東的亂局?我們得追溯到第一次世界大戰和奧斯曼帝國的衰亡史當中。7月15日,在新京報·文化客廳的第十場沙龍中,尤金·羅根認為,第一次世界大戰塑造瞭今天的中東,而當時英國和法國所劃定的邊界導緻的糾紛是今天中東亂局的一個根源。 撰文 | 徐悅東 對 於...

今日中東諸多問題都可以追溯到奧斯曼帝國的崩潰。當年奧斯曼和大清,一個歐洲病夫,一個東亞病夫。隻是奧斯曼離西方更近,受壓也更早,類似戊戌變法的嘗試也更早。到基馬爾世俗化改革,基本西化,成瞭無所適從的國傢,而中國仍以獨特的文明立於東方。讀完這本書,對英國人陰險(treacherous)、兩麵三刀(perfidious)和虛僞(hypocrisy)的印象進一步加深瞭。
