Despite his coverage of this in the first seven chapters of this book, the bulk of the narrative focuses on the immediate postwar climate in Turkey, and the Allies ill-fated attempt to carve out spheres of influence in the defunct Ottoman Empire. The Allies, tired from years of warfare, did not anticipate a resurgent Turkish nationalism, that in the end drove the Allies out of Anatolia and created the modern Turkish State.
Armstrong served in a supervisory role over the Turkish Gendarmarie. His stories of working against the brigands that roamed the outskirts of Constantinople are interesting. Armstrong's very strong pro-British empire views tend to detract from his otherwise good recounting of the events after the armistice was signed. A good accounting of the transition of the facts on the ground from the Treaty of Sevres to the Treaty of Lausanne.
For anyone interested in the birth of the modern Turkish state, this should be of interest. ( )
