Sean McMeekin's English-language book is a general history of the Ottoman Empire's wars, revolutionary upheaval, and the making of the modern Middle East between 1908 and 1923. Its value for this collection lies in providing context for the 1918 Caucasus campaign and the Ottoman advance on Baku within the final phase of the First World War, the post-Brest-Litovsk Russian collapse, and British intervention. The record lacks a publication year; the publisher appears as Penguin Books.
