La fine del potere ottomano. L’ultimo sultano, l’ultimo califfo, gli ultimi gran visir

Fabio L. Grassi traces the events of the Ottoman Empire’s final years, focusing on the actions – particularly the diplomatic ones – of the last sultan, the last caliph, and the last grand viziers. Drawing on unpublished archival sources from both the Western powers and Turkey, Grassi unravels the relationships between the last sultan, Mehmed VI, and the future dissident and revolutionary, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, examining the events that unfolded between the surrender of the Empire on 30th October 1918 and the abolition of the Caliphate on 3rd March 1924. This book returns
with new insights into the crucial period that saw the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the birth of the Turkish Republic.
