Last Treaty

In her groundbreaking book, Last Treaty, author Michelle Tusan redefines the narrative surrounding the conclusion of the First World War in the Middle East. Published by Cambridge University Press in 2023, this hardback edition spans 348 pages and offers a comprehensive analysis of Europe's conflict with the Ottoman Empire. Tusan meticulously examines the events leading to the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, which marked the official end of the war in that region. By juxtaposing the decisive Allied victory over Germany in 1918 with the ongoing struggles in the East, she provides a nuanced perspective that challenges conventional understandings of the war’s conclusion. This insightful work is essential for anyone interested in the complexities of World War I and its lasting impacts on the Middle East.
