The Atrak and the Arabs --Bibliography --IndexThe Great War is still seen as a mostly European war. The Middle Eastern theater is, at best, considered a sideshow written from the western perspective. This book fills an important gap in the literature by giving an insight through annotated translations from five Ottoman memoirs, previously not available in English, of actors who witnessed the last few years of Turkish presence in the Arab lands. It provides the historical background to many of the crises in the Middle East today, such as the Arab-Israeli confrontation, the conflict-ridden emergence of Syria and Lebanon, the struggle over the holy places of Islam in the Hejaz, and the mutual prejudices of Arabs and Turks about each other.World War, 1914-1918Personal narratives, TurkishWorld War, 1914-1918TurkeyWorld War, 1914-1918Middle EastArabs.Arab–Israeli confrontation.First World War.Great War.Hijaz.Jemal Pacha.Lebanon.Middle East.Ottoman Empire.Palestine.Syria.The Great War.Turkish-Arab relations.Turks.WWI:World War One.World War 1.World War I.collective memory.military history.World War, 1914-1918World War, 1914-1918World War, 1914-1918940.30917/4927Deringil Selimedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910793555803321The Ottoman Twilight in the Arab Lands3834429UNINA
