The Congress of Berlin by Anton Werner

Salvation and Catastrophe : The Greek -Turkish War 1919-1923

During the 2018-2020 period I engaged in a major research project centered on the centenary of the  Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1923 (known in Greece as the Asia Minor Campaign, and in Turkey as the Western Front of the Turkish War of Liberation). This included teaching a course on the Greek-Turkish Interstate Rivalry (you can get the Syllabus here), recording a  narrative chronology of the start of the conflict (more on this, and for access, see below), and the most important organizing a interdisciplinary edited volume with perspectives on aspects of the onset, conduct, and aftermath of the conflict. 

The book is now coming out with Rowman and Littlefield, through their Lexington imprint.


You can check the publisher page for the book . There is a 30% discount for any purchases from the publisher web-page between release date and 12/31/2020. The discount code is LEX30AUTH20. I will be producing more material on the book, which you will be able to see either on this page, or on my front page posts.

You may find a flyer to disseminate here.

I have prepared a video presentation for the book



A twitter thread presenting the book can be found here

We conducted our first book launch event at Ozyegin University 


As part of the project, I was creating a chronological narrative of the many aspects of the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-1923, and aspects of the wider sent of Wars of Anatolian Succession (in Turkey known as the Turkish War of Liberation). I covered events from October 1918 to September 1920. I have decided to terminate that project for personal reasons. You can request access to the video depository by emailing me at my institutional email. Access will be granted on an individual basis and I have a right to prohibit access to those I consider have nothing useful to add to the topic.
