Reviews

A powerful study...Sorrowful Shores stands out as a truly detached account of the "Turkish War of Independence"-one that will be impossible for scholars of any political persuasion to ignore.
*Holocaust and Genocide Studies*

[A] riveting new study.
*The New Republic*

A most welcome addition to the analysis of a much understudied period of contemporary Turkish history...meticulous...a must-read for all those interested in the workings of nations and nationalism in general, and scholars focusing on the Turkish nation-building process in particular.
*Fatma Muge Gocek, Nationalities Papers*

A very interesting book...a valuable, well-researched, provocative work that will be interesting to specialist and student alike.
*Evdoxios Doxiadis, Journal of Modern Greek Studies*

Extremely important for making sense out of the transition from Ottoman Empire to Turksih Republic
*Remarks by the President of the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies for the British-Kuwait Friendship Society Book Prize 2009*

fascinating book ... a ground-breaking study
*Peter Clark, Asian Affairs*
