Notes
The Publisher's description of this book is that the author profoundly reshapes the story of how the Great War actually ended in the Middle East, and it was the Treaty of Lausanne, not the Treaty of Versailles, which brought the war to an end. The author traces what happened in the Near/Middle East and how events happening in that region led to the Lausanne Treaty, which in some ways brought a more unsatisfactory closure than the Versailles Treaty is considered to have done. There is a strong bias in the book about the start and then growth of the humanitarian sector, in this case obviously driven by the Armenian Genocides, but also the various other problems arising from the other minorities.
