Bibliography
Born in New York, Ryan Gingeras received his doctorate in history from the University of Toronto in 2006. He is the author of three books on the history of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey, including Heir to the Empire: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (2015).
[The book] is a detailed evaluation and thorough narrative of a
theatre too often overshadowed by events in Europe. It will appeal
primarily to scholars, but the accessibility of the writing will
certainly not exclude the volume from a wider audience. It should
be included in the reading lists of any First World War studies as
it is a deeply impressive piece of work.
*Rob Johnson, First World War Studies*
This is an ambitious and multivocal work, which offers a
significant contribution to our understanding of the demise of the
Ottoman Empire. Not only does Gingeras explore the impact of the
last decade of Ottoman rule - a decade that was characterized by
constant wars - on Ottoman society, he also analyses the social,
economic, and political structures and changes that characterized
the different parts of the Ottoman Empire as they developed over
the course of the nineteenth century.

Fall of the Sultanate depicts the fall of the Empire from their
point of view, as well as that of a large number of other
spectators who have mostly remained invisible.
*The International Spectator*
an easily read, composite story ... Gingeras manages to pull out
unique kernels of wisdom from this often-traumatic history ... An
excellent study accessible to a broad audience ... Highly
recommended.
*CHOICE*
Gingeras is a judicious navigator ... Drawing on Ottoman, German,
U.S., and British archival documents, diaries, and memories, as
well as on parliamentary records and contemporary newspapers,
Gingeras tells a complicated story in crystal-clear prose, making
it accessible to specialists and non-specialists alike.
