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. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zPalestine 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zJerusalem 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns$zMiddle East 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPersonal narratives, Turkish 606 $aSoldiers$zJerusalem$vDiaries 606 $aTurks$zJerusalem$vDiaries 607 $aJerusalem$xHistory, Military$y20th century 607 $aJerusalem$xSocial conditions$y20th century 610 $aarab soldier. 610 $aarab world. 610 $aarab. 610 $aautobiography. 610 $abiography. 610 $abombs. 610 $aconscripted soldier. 610 $adiary. 610 $aempire. 610 $agender. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aihsan hasan al turjman. 610 $aimperialism. 610 $ajerusalem. 610 $ajournal. 610 $amashriq. 610 $amemoir. 610 $amiddle east. 610 $amilitary service. 610 $amilitary. 610 $amongolia. 610 $anationalism. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aottoman empire. 610 $aottoman soldier. 610 $apalestine. 610 $apalestinian history. 610 $apalestinian mandate. 610 $apartition. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apow camp. 610 $aprisoner of war. 610 $aregional politics. 610 $arussia. 610 $aseige. 610 $asiberia. 610 $asoldier. 610 $asuez. 610 $aturkey. 610 $aveteran. 610 $awar. 610 $aworld war one. 610 $aww1. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xCampaigns 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aSoldiers 615 0$aTurks 676 $a940.4/15092 676 $aB 700 $aTama?ri?$b Sali?m$01028974 702 $aTurjman$b Ihsan Salih, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806970603321 996 $aYear of the locust$93933019 997 $aUNINA
