This book powerfully demonstrates the importance of integrating the history of the Anatolian War of 1919-1922 into Western narratives of the making of the modern world. With excellent contributions on different aspects of the conflict and its wider ramifications, the volume contributes to a better understanding of both the emergence of a new global order after 1918, and the beginnings of its unravelling.
