'Michelle Tusan brings the 'Middle Eastern Front' from the periphery to the center of the history of the First World War and invites us to complicate its usual periodization. At a time when the refugee crisis and the role of the international community once again take center stage, her work is an essential read for anyone interested in the legacies of an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.' Bruno Cabanes, author of The Great War and the Origins of Humanitarianism, 1918–1924
