A new study of the international and local politics surrounding the Muslim minority of Western Thrace (Greece) in the 1940s, based on previously unseen archival material. Addresses the minority's complex identity, its relations with other communities in the area, the international diplomacy of WWII and strategic considerations of the Cold War.
Reviews / Votes
'...this scholarly study is a detailed but clear opening for anyone interested in Greek, Turkish and Balkan issues.' - Time Out: Istanbul
'...The Last Ottomans offers important insights into a little-known period of a group, which has largely escaped the attention of historians until now. As a result of painstaking research, it succeeds to present the Muslim minority against the backdrop of this dramatic period in Greek history.' - Sotirios Dimitriadis, SOAS, UCL Discovery
