Buy Peace to End All Peace, 20th Anniversary Edition: The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East 20th Anniversary ed. by Fromkin, David (ISBN: 9780805088090) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Marvellous Book about the Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East - The subtitle of this book is "The Fall of the Ottoman Empire and the Creation of the Modern Middle East", and that gives one a pretty good idea of what the book covers. Extremely well researched and documented by the American author, lawyer, and historian, David Fromkin, the book describes in detail—including much "insider" detail—about the complex, Machiavellian maneuvering of the imperial powers—Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Russia—in the theater of what we now call the "Middle East" in the period between 1914 and 1922, in other words, the imperial struggle that we label the First World War or the Great War. The book is particularly good at elucidating the machinations of (and struggles among) the British Foreign Office, Kitchener of Khartoum, and the India Office and their complicated relations with the French, the Turks and the Arabs that turned the "War to End All Wars" into what we now know today as "A Peace to End All Peace". Unflattering pictures emerge of David Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, Lord Kitchener and a host of Arab and Ottoman leaders; but they are condemned by their actions and not by slurs from Fromkin. Can't be read without taking notes unless you have a total photographic memory. Amazing how the best histories are not written by esteemed academic historians.
Review: A mind-opening read - Before I read David Fromkin's account of how it all happened, I knew little about the source of the issues in the Middle East. It was fantastic to get the background. It is an account of human folly. Of pencil pushers deciding the destiny of millions of people without any understanding of the far-reaching consequences of their decisions. For anyone, with an interest in the Middle East..this book is a must-read.

Excellent book, very well researched. It was a pleasure to read it. It is one of those books that explains a lot of today's problems and very much worth keeping it for future reference.
