{"product_id":"the-end-of-the-ottomans-hans-lukas-kieser-9781788312417","title":"The End of the Ottomans: The Genocide of 1915 and the Politics of Turkish Nationalism","description":"In the early part of the twentieth century, as Europe began its descent into the First World War, the Ottoman world - once the largest Empire in the Middle East - began to experience a revolution which would culminate in the new, secular Turkish state. Alongside this, in 1915, as part of an increasing nationalism, it enacted a genocide against its Armenian citizens. In this new study, Hans-Lukas Kieser marshals a dazzling array of scholars to re-evaluate the approach and legacy of the Young Turks - whose eradication of the Armenians from Asia Minor would have far-reaching consequences. Kieser argues that genocide led to today's crisis-ridden Middle East and set in place a rigid state system whose effects are still felt in Turkey today.Featuring new and groundbreaking work on the role of bureaucracy, the actors outside of Istanbul and re-centreing Armenian agency in the genocide, \u003ci\u003eThe End of the Ottomans \u003c\/i\u003eis a vital new study of the Ottoman world, the Armenian Genocide and of the Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans-Lukas Kieser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788312414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788312417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
