"Methodologically satisfying and empirically rich, this meticulously-researched study of the mass of everyday photographs demonstrates photography’s integral role in the creation of modern identities. Carefully balanced between macro- and micro historical narratives, it reveals photography to be an incisive and indispensable prism through which to consider larger analytical questions around class, gender and modernity, ideology, politics and social change, not only  in Turkey but in the wider historical landscape.  Throughout the images, from photo albums to advertisements, are richly revealing of the hopes and desires that clustered around photographs in fast-changing society of the mid-twentieth century."

&#160;&ldquo;A sweeping account&hellip;The most original and passionately written parts concern the fight between Russians and Turks in eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus. Two things distinguish Mr. McMeekin from many other writers in English about this period. First, he has a deep empathy with Turkish concerns, and he hews closer to the official Turkish line than to the revisionist, self-critical approach taken by some courageous Turkish liberals. Second, he has some unusual insights into imperial Russian thinking, based on study of the tsarist archives&hellip;[Mr. McMeekin] brings some useful correctives into focus.&rdquo;&mdash;The Economist &ldquo;Using previously unknown sources from Ottoman and Russian archives, [McMeekin] denounces the notion that the Middle East as we know it today is a legacy of World War I and Anglo-French decisions in the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916. He argues that events far richer and more intricate caused the end of the empire&hellip;[A] valuable academic work.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal&#160;&ldquo;Magisterial&hellip;Giving events in the Ottoman theater the same attention to detail usually reserved for the Western front, McMeekin argues that principals on all sides were stymied by myopic preconceptions as the war gained steam, with movements on the ground easily overcoming any pretense of rational planning&hellip;McMeekin&rsquo;s gripping narrative style and literary panache make this work an attractive resource for anyone looking to further understand the destruction and dislocation in Asia Minor that ushered in the modern age.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review  &#160; &ldquo;Thought-provoking&hellip;McMeekin observes early on that there's much more to [the] story than the smoothly duplicitous diplomacy that makes up the last hour of Lawrence of Arabia and much more than T.E. Lawrence himself&hellip;Thriving on untold stories, McMeekin looks at the punctuated collapse of the Ottoman Empire in Eastern Europe and its momentary successes following the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, which had the effect of exposing rivalries between the Ottomans and their German allies that almost resulted in war on yet another front. The author also gives a lucid account of the geneses of secular governments in what became Turkey and those of more theocratically or autocratically inclined ones in the neighboring former provinces&hellip;Vigorous and accessible.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus&ldquo;A well-timed, well-researched exploration of the empire whose dissolution continues to complicate making sense of the contemporary Middle East. Herein are explanations of how modern Turkey, Iraq, and Syria came to be, as well as how the division of the rest of the region affected its future. Scholars and practitioners alike will benefit from reading it.&rdquo;-Henry Kissinger&#160; &#160; &ldquo;Where conventional histories of World War One focus on the trench warfare in the West, Sean McMeekin, combining ground breaking archival research with a genius for historical narrative, tells the story of the war in the East. From the Bolshevik Revolution to the Armenian Genocide, McMeekin weaves the dramatic and world shaking events of one of history&rsquo;s greatest conflicts into a compelling and original story. As characters like Leon Trotsky, Kemal Ataturk and Winston Churchill stride &mdash; or in some cases, slink &mdash; across these pages, readers will see some of history&rsquo;s most important events from a fresh perspective. There are many histories of World War One; few are as important or as readable as this one.&rdquo;-Walter Russell Mead &#160; &ldquo;Sean McMeekin&rsquo;s The Ottoman Endgame pleases like a mouthful of Turkish delight, the flavors, scents and views of the old empire combining in a gripping new history that plunges the Turkish Empire into the Great War and locates Constantinople not at the edge of the conflict but at its very heart. McMeekin pulls all of the familiar but disconnected threads together in a stunningly original way: the Young Turks, the Balkan Wars, the German alliance, Gallipoli, Iraq, the vast, forgotten battles with the Russians in the snowy Caucasus, the Armenian genocide, the naval struggle on the Black Sea, and the frothy legend of Lawrence of Arabia. The crucial influence of these far-reaching Turkish campaigns on World War I and its aftermath emerges in McMeekin&rsquo;s wry, delightful book, which fills in a neglected face of the war and traces the emergence of the modern Middle East.&rdquo; -Geoffrey Wawro, author of&#160;A Mad Catastrophe: The Outbreak of World War I and the Collapse of the Habsburg Empire&#160;and&#160;Quicksand: America&rsquo;s Pursuit of Power in the Middle East &#160; &ldquo;A real feat of historical scholarship, offering genuinely new interpretations and fresh insights into the origins of the modern Middle East.&rdquo;-Roger Crowley, author of&#160;1453: The Holy War for Constantinople and the Clash of Islam and the West &#160; &ldquo;McMeekin synthesizes an impressive amount of fresh material from across Europe&rsquo;s archives in this balanced and&#160; perceptive analysis of the twelve-year War of Ottoman Succession, between 1911, and 1923, that ended an empire after six centuries; redrew the map and reshaped the culture of the Middle East; and almost tangentially played a crucial&#160; role in the outbreak of World War I and the peace that&mdash;temporarily&mdash;concluded it.&rdquo;-Dennis Showalter, professor of history, Colorado College&#160; &#160; &ldquo;Sean McMeekin has an infernal panorama to describe, as, over twelve years, the Ottoman Empire fell apart, giving us problems that have gone on to this day. The subject has found a writer with all the linguistic and scholarly qualifications to do it justice.&rdquo;-Norman Stone, author of&#160;Turkey: A Short History&#160; &#160; &ldquo;A tour de force. Using an unprecedented array of new sources&mdash;German, Russian, Turkish, French and British&mdash;Sean McMeekin not only describes a key aspect of the First World War but also provides a key to the tragedy of the Middle East today.&rdquo;-Philip Mansel, author of&#160;Levant: Splendour and Catastrophe on the Mediterranean

“Book under review is enormous in scope and contains
most of the old and current results on extension problems. Many of the theorems
appear here for the first time in book form. The book is self-contained, and
the detailed arguments make it accessible to a wide audience, especially
graduate students interested in getting into the subject. … It will become a
standard reference in the subject, and it deserves a spot in the library.” (Garving
K. Luli, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 53 (1), January,
2016)“The book is a unique (and therefore best) systematic presentation of the parts of analysis linked with the extension and trace problems. It is also a rich source of references and historical information on the topics under consideration. Undoubtedly, the book will influence significantly the research on the subject. The book is addressed at researchers, but it is also useful for lecturers as a source of supplementary material for standard courses of real and functional analysis.” (Victor Milman, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1253, 2013)“The two-volume monograph is divided into ten chapters, with five chapters in each volume. … the book successfully conveys the authors’ coherent vision for the subject, with the emphasis on linear extension operators, finiteness properties, and the treatment of extension via selection. It is certain to become a standard reference in the field.” (Leonid V. Kovalev, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 j)
