Review Quotes:
"This book powerfully demonstrates the importance of integrating the history of the Anatolian War of 1919-1922 into Western narratives of the making of the modern world. With excellent contributions on different aspects of the conflict and its wider ramifications, the volume contributes to a better understanding of both the emergence of a new global order after 1918, and the beginnings of its unravelling." --Robert Gerwarth, Director of the Centre for War Studies, University College Dublin, Ireland
"Looking backward and forward from the final settlement of the First World War, this volume reveals the complicated legacy of war and peacemaking on regional and international relations in Southeastern Europe and the Middle East." --Michelle Tusan, Professor of History, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA
