Description: Ultimately these cross purposes brought disaster pulling a fatally weak and woefully unprepared Ottoman state into a global war and unleashing vicious internal ethnic repression that brought it defeat and dismemberment. The diaries and official reports of German spy and propagandist Curt Prufer - translated here into English in their entirety for the first time - chronicle the complexities of the fragile Ottoman - German alliance from the perspective of a participant. Much like fellow soldier - scholar T. E. Lawrence Prufer and his colleagues tried to steal the loyalties of the Muslim subjects of the opposing sides. The book explores these episodes of sabotage subversion and subterfuge - from managing spies to preparing for the attack on the Suez Canal in 1915 - and in the process sheds light onto the ways World War I played out across the Middle East. Complemented throughout by in - depth and meticulously researched footnotes this primary source collection is an invaluable addition to the extant corpus of late Ottoman and World War I historical documents.
