In the diaries of Ihsan Hasan al-Turjman (1893-1917), the first ordinary recruit to describe World War I from the Arab side, we follow the misadventures of an Ottoman soldier stationed in Jerusalem. There he occupied himself by dreaming about his future and using family connections to avoid being sent to the Suez. His diaries draw a unique picture of daily life in the besieged city, bringing into sharp focus its communitarian alleys and obliterated neighborhoods, the ongoing political debates, and, most vividly, the voices from its streets-soldiers, peddlers, prostitutes, and vagabonds. Salim Tamari's indispensable introduction places the diary in its local, regional, and imperial contexts while deftly revising conventional wisdom on the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire.World War, 1914-1918PalestineWorld War, 1914-1918JerusalemWorld War, 1914-1918CampaignsMiddle EastWorld War, 1914-1918Personal narratives, TurkishSoldiersJerusalemDiariesTurksJerusalemDiariesJerusalemHistory, Military20th centuryJerusalemSocial conditions20th centuryarab soldier.arab world.arab.autobiography.biography.bombs.conscripted soldier.diary.empire.gender.history.ihsan hasan al turjman.imperialism.jerusalem.journal.mashriq.memoir.middle east.military service.military.mongolia.nationalism.nonfiction.ottoman empire.ottoman soldier.palestine.palestinian history.palestinian mandate.partition.politics.pow camp.prisoner of war.regional politics.russia.seige.siberia.soldier.suez.turkey.veteran.war.world war one.ww1.World War, 1914-1918World War, 1914-1918World War, 1914-1918CampaignsWorld War, 1914-1918SoldiersTurks940.4/15092BTamārī Salīm1028974Turjman Ihsan Salih, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781212603321Year of the locust3757275UNINA
