| Fromkin stellt in seiner fundamentierten Studie den Niedergang des Osmanischen Reiches und die Aktivitäten Europas in der Region dar. - Ein Friedensprozess der den Friedenprozess beendete?
"This detailed and admirably lucid book describes the destruction of the Ottoman empire by the Allies in the First War, and the emergence by 1922 of a new order in the Middle East. The subject has long been confused by special pleading on behalf of the British or the French, Arabs, Jews and other minorities. David Fromkin has given (...) himself the brief of finding "the story of the destruction of that empire and of its replacement by eight separate states is told in this excellent and substantial book which benefits from a close study of recent research, a lively style and a strong sense of the influence of personalities on events" - (Daily Telegraph). "Readers will come away (...) not only enlightened but challenged - challenged in a way that is brought home by the irony of the title" - (The New York Times Book
Review). "An important historical revision" - (Financial Times). David Fromkin: A Peace to End All Peace:
Creating the Modern Middle East, 1914-1922.
