The first English-language biography of the de facto ruler of the
late Ottoman Empire and architect of the Armenian Genocide Talaat
Pasha (1874-1921) led the triumvirate that ruled the late Ottoman
Empire during World War I and is arguably the father of modern
Turkey. He was also the architect of the Armenian Genocide, which
would result in the systematic extermination of more than a million
people, and which set the stage for a century that would witness
atrocities on a scale never imagined. Here is the first biography
in English of the revolutionary figure who not only prepared the
way for Ataturk and the founding of the republic in 1923, but who
shaped the modern world as well. In this explosive book, Hans-Lukas
Kieser provides a mesmerizing portrait of a man who maintained
power through a potent blend of the new Turkish ethno-nationalism,
the political Islam of former Sultan Abdulhamid II, and a readiness
to employ radical "solutions" and violence. From Talaat's role in
the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 to his exile from Turkey and
assassination--a sensation in Weimar Germany-Kieser restores the
Ottoman drama to the heart of world events. He shows how Talaat
wielded far more power than previously realized, making him the de
facto ruler of the empire. He brings wartime Istanbul vividly to
life as a thriving diplomatic hub, and reveals how Talaat's
cataclysmic actions would reverberate across the twentieth century.
In this major work of scholarship, Kieser tells the story of the
brilliant and merciless politician who stood at the twilight of
empire and the dawn of the age of genocide.
