There are many histories of World War One; few are as important or as readable as this one
Walter Russell Mead
Masterful and sympathetic . . . superb
Charles King, Literary Review
A marvellous exposition of the historian's art
Christopher de Bellaigue, Guardian
This readable, much-praised and opinionated work chronicles the Ottomans' entry into the war on Germany's side, its eventual defeat and its final dismemberment
Gerard Russell, The Times
It is an enormous story, and McMeekin is a worthy chronicler of it . . . The Ottoman Endgame is the most satisfactory and thought-through of the recent books on the subject that I have seen
Norman Stone, Prospect
Original and passionately written
Economist
