Description: New York : Columbia University Press, 2010. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 241 pp.Condition : as new. Feroz Ahmad details the rise of the Young Turks, who sought to reform the Ottoman Empire by provoking a constitutional revolution against Sultan Ahmed Hamid II., and the ensuing counterrevolution of 1909. He also includes a discussion of the Group of Saviour officers, who set out to destroy the Young Turks. The Ottoman armies routed the Unionists during the First Balkan War and inflicted great losses on them in Macedonia. Yet in 1913, the Young Turks regained power in a coup led by the charismatic Enver Bey. They then abandoned the idea of a union and pursued more moderate policies. Ahmad concludes with an examination of territorial losses and the impact of six years of war on the Ottoman state.English. text. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new.
