Occupied Istanbul Published June 2026 Occupied Istanbul Urban Politics, Culture and Society, 1918-1923 Cora, Y., MacArthur-Seal, D. & Tongo, G. (eds)

British, French, and Italian forces arrived in Istanbul in 1918, marking the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War. An almost five-year-long occupation of the city followed, a period largely ignored in history writing and marginalised in Anatolia-centric narratives of the Turkish War of Independence. By bringing this tumultuous period back into focus, this book makes a significant contribution to First World War studies, research on European imperialism, and the modern history of Istanbul, Turkey, and the Middle East.

General de Gaulle's Cold War Published December 2015 General de Gaulle's Cold War Challenging American Hegemony, 1963-68 Martin, G. J.

“While there is a lot of information for readers to take in, the subject is inherently complex, spanning different aspects of French foreign policy and the politics of other countries and institutions. In spite of this complexity, Martin displays a good grasp of the material. The book is the product of archival research in England, France, and the United States, as well as engagement with published collections and the relevant secondary literature on the topic. Martin has thus covered most of his bases.”  ·  H-France Review

[The book] is extremely well researched, well written, and Martin accomplishes his stated objective: namely, to provide a more balanced account of de Gaulle that goes beyond views of him as either a visionary, or an irresponsible and anti-American nationalist…Martin’s analysis makes a unique contribution in that it examines the linkages between the General's economic, political and security policy in order to understand how the three came together to shape his overall policy toward the US.”  ·  Erin Mahan, Chief Historian, Office of the Secretary of Defense
