Description of Talaat Pasha: Father of Modern Turkey, Architect of Genocide
Review 'Kieser's portrait of Talaat shows this architect of genocide as a charming monster, brilliant tactician, and fanatical ideologue. Kieser's ... tale is gripping and well researched.'�John Waterbury,�Foreign Affairs.�'His book is invaluable, offering a bigger picture than Ak�am's, both of the events that prefigured the massacres of 1915-1917 and of the war. The view from Talaat Pasha's desk gives a perspective that would be hard to beat.'�Mark Mazower,�The New York Review of Books.�'This brilliant portrait of Talaat Pasha is in a league of its own... This detailed, well-researched account of his life re-establishes Talaat Pasha as a key figure during the first decades of the 20th Century.'�Lisa Kaaki,�Arab News.�'A sound and readable book about a person whose significance for European history is greater than what one generally believes.'�Svante Lundgren,�Svenska Dagbladet.�'Kieser's book has fulfilled a very significant gap in the literature...�Talaat Pasha�situates the history of the late Ottoman Empire into its European context, highlighting the links between developments in the Ottoman Empire and European politics in a variety of registers, including international politics and diplomacy, the rise of right-wing ideologies centered around victimhood and one-man regimes. As noted by Kieser, it was Talaat who opened 'the age of extremes and the Europe of the dictators.''�Mehmet Polatel,�EuropeNow.�'This book is a timely, empirically rich, and lucid contribution relevant to Ottoman-Turkish studies, mass violence research,�and�global history.'�U?ur �. �ng�r,�Journal of Genocide Research.�'...a masterpiece that will define both Ottoman Studies and the historiography of republican Turkey...very well documented and elegantly written... It brilliantly emphasizes the centrality of the genocide...in modern Turkey's foundation...It deconstructs contradictory topoi: that of the Triumvirate and that of Enver's primacy...'��zg�r T�resay,�Studia Islamica. 'His deep understanding of the languages and the polity of several nations and empires permits him to make telling high level observations clarifying how it was that decision makers in war, politics and myth making both faced and squandered opportunities. This informs the reader of how politics can work towards life-engendering visions, not cycles of violence and crimes against humanity.' Noric Dilanchian, GoodReads.�'...tough reading... as the historian recollects the systematic murder of Armenian Christians... This narrative is especially pertinent in Turkey today, as it increasingly takes a more authoritarian and Islamist approach.'�JP O'Malley,�The Times of Israel.�'...Kieser's book touches on how Talat Pasha's ghost continues to effect Turkish politics. The dialogue between the nationalist paradigm that dominates the Turkish political scene today and the CUP is clear.'��mit Kurt,�Ahval News. 'Kieser illustrates... that Talaat blended the imperial Ottoman myth with Turkish nationalism... excellent insight into the structures of the Ottoman Empire.'�Hovhannes Gevorkian,�kritisch-lesen.de Read more Review 'This is an extremely important book that not only fills a large gap in the existing scholarship but also introduces new perspectives on the Armenian Genocide. It is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand late Ottoman history and the Committee of Union and Progress, which organized the genocide against the Christians during First World War.'?Taner Ak�am, author of A Shameful Act: The Armenian Genocide and the Question of Turkish Responsibility'This long-awaited biography is very timely and masterfully executed. Kieser reinstates Talaat Pasha as a major statesman of twentieth-century European and world history.'?Stefan Ihrig, author of Justifying Genocide: Germany and the Armenians from Bismarck to Hitler'A highly valuable model of the use of biography in the service of history and the social sciences. Kieser's careful reading of the Armenian Genocide offers precious keys to understanding the process of the Islamization and Turkification of the late Ottoman Empire.'?Hamit Bozarslan, author of Violence in the Middle East: From Political Struggle to Self-Sacrifice'In this brilliant book, Kieser moves the architect of Ottoman imperial nationalism and the Armenian Genocide to center stage in the European drama. This is the first scholarly biography of a man both revered by the beneficiaries and reviled by the victims of his drive to save an empire, only to preside over its demise.'?Ronald Grigor Suny, author of 'They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else': A History of the Armenian Genocide Read more See all Editorial Reviews
