DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from In Brigands' Hands and Turkish Prisons: 1914-1918 Of necessity the personal pronoun will be prominent, but as far as possible it shall be obliterated, lest it jar too much on the reader's ears. Chapters XVIII, XIX, and XX are inserted, to put into permanent form the papers read at a Bible school in Jerusalem, this too at the request of hearers and friends. My incarceration as a political prisoner in Damascus for four years, during the late war, gave me time and opportunity for writing what is herein contained. Any repetitions, errors in dates, names, or such like, must be pardoned by the reader, for the absence of all books and papers to refer to is the cause of any such.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA prize-winning, magisterial history of World War I from the perspective of the defeated Central Powers For the Central Powers, the First World War started with high hopes for an easy victory. But those hopes soon deteriorated as Germany's attack on France failed, Austria-Hungary's armies suffered catastrophic losses, and Britain's ruthless blockade brought both nations to the brink of starvation. The Central powers were trapped in the Allies' ever-tightening Ring of Steel. In this compelling history, Alexander Watson retells the war from the perspective of its losers: not just the leaders in Berlin and Vienna, but the people of Central Europe. The war shattered their societies, destroyed their states, and imparted a poisonous legacy of bitterness and violence. A major reevaluation of the First World War, Ring of Steel is essential for anyone seeking to understand the last century of European history.
