About this book

This book offers a new account of how the Great War unmade and then remade the political order of the Middle East. Ranging from Morocco to Iran and spanning the eve of the war into the 1930s, it demonstrates that the modern Middle East was shaped through complex and violent power struggles among local and international actors.

Reviews

Charles Kurzman, author of Democracy Denied, 1905–1915: Intellectuals and the Fate of Democracy:
In the Middle East, World War I did not end in 1918—it continued into the early 1930s. Jonathan Wyrtzen’s Worldmaking in the Long Great War offers a concise, well-written account of these state-building conflicts, which drew the map of the region as we know it today.
