In 1914, the European powers inexorably slipped to the war, pulling with them the whole Middle East with them into the funnel of this destructive conflict. In his book, Eugene Rogan represents the history of the First World War, revealing the consequences to which it led in the Middle East, and that decisive one - but little -known with us - the role that the region played in it. The famous British historian lively and fascinatingly talks about political intrigues and military battles, which deployed on the Ottoman lands from the Gallipoli Peninsula to Arabia. Unlike a trench warfare on the Western Front, in the Middle East, hostilities were dynamic and unpredictable. Before the military fortune turned to face the Entente powers, the Turks inflicted crushing defeats on them on the Gallipoli Peninsula, in Mesopotamia and Palestine. The post -war settlement led to the section of the Ottoman Empire and laid the foundation of those irreconcilable contradictions that to this day tear out the Arab world. This book is required to read to everyone who wants to understand the history of the First World War and the phenomenon of today"s Middle East
