{"product_id":"9780755635979","title":"End of the Ottomans","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, The End of the Ottomans is a vital new study of the Ottoman world, the Armenian Genocide and of the Middle East.","brand":"Hans-Lukas Kieser, Margaret Lavinia Anderson, Seyhan Bayraktar, Thomas Schmutz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45822569480510,"sku":"9780755635979","price":1361.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780755635979_101b7686-01d8-4752-a8cc-262e7d8837e2.jpg?v=1707319840","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780755635979","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
