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
