Writing as the Ottoman Empire was being carved up after the First World War, the French author Gaston Gaillard surveys the Turkish peoples, Turkey’s role in the war, the peace conference, the Allied occupation of Constantinople and the Treaty of Sèvres. He also weighs the claims of Armenians, Arabs and other peoples, and the Muslims of the former Russian Empire.
A contemporary document of the Eastern Question, written from a frankly pro-Turkish standpoint that colours its account of the Armenians. Download the free EPUB.
