Year of the Locust: A Soldier's ... by Turjman, Ihsan Salih Paperback GOOD

Description: About this productProduct InformationYear of the Locust captures in page-turning detail the end of the Ottoman world and a pivotal moment in Palestinian history. In the diaries of Ihsan Hasan al-Turjman (1893-1917), the first ordinary recruit to describe World War I from the Arab side, we follow the misadventures of an Ottoman soldier stationed in Jerusalem. There he occupied himself by dreaming about his future and using family connections to avoid being sent to the Suez. His diaries draw a unique picture of daily life in the besieged city, bringing into sharp focus its communitarian alleys and obliterated neighborhoods, the ongoing political debates, and, most vividly, the voices from its streets--soldiers, peddlers, prostitutes, and vagabonds. Salim Tamari's indispensable introduction places the diary in its local, regional, and imperial contexts while deftly revising conventional wisdom on the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire.Product IdentifiersPublisherUniversity of California PressISBN-100520287509ISBN-139780520287501eBay Product ID (ePID)211892497Product Key FeaturesBook TitleYear of the Locust : a Soldier's Diary and the Erasure of Palestine's Ottoman PastAuthorSalim Tamari, Ihsan Salih TurjmanFormatTrade PaperbackLanguageEnglishTopicMilitary / WORLD War I, Middle East / Turkey & Ottoman Empire, Military / General, Middle East / Israel & Palestine, Middle East / GeneralPublication Year2015GenreHistoryNumber of Pages208 PagesDimensionsItem Length8.2inItem Height0.6inItem Width5.5inItem Weight9.6 OzAdditional Product FeaturesReviewsThe value and significance of the volume . . . is without question. . . .
