"Klein sheds light on some of the most important and complicated
relations and negotiations the Ottoman officials were engaged in as
their empire crumbled around them. She never loses sight of the
broader implications of her work in this original, highly valuable
look at a significant period in the history of the Middle East." --

Kurdish history and to the history of the eastern provinces during
the late Ottoman period. The rich documentation of the saga of the
Kurds as they undergo a very difficult transformation will generate
healthy scholarly debate. An excellent book." -- Fatma Muge Goecek
* University of Michigan *
