<br> A riveting new study by Ryan Gingeras on the impact of the war in western Anatolia gives us what we have lacked until now--an eye-opening insight into how decisions taken by a few men in the Ottoman capital were translated into killing on the ground. Gingeras's impressive book illuminates this in unprecedented detail--and, what is more, it does so on the basis of the Ottoman archives. --Mark Mazower, The New Republic<br>

A powerfu 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
