Internationally better known for its aftermath, the Compulsory Population Exchange between Greece and Turkey, the Catastrophe of Ottoman Greeks, and the foundation of the Republic of Turkey under Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the war has never been given a holistic treatment in English, despite its long shadow over the Greek-Turkish relationship. The contributors in this volume address this gap by brining to the fore, on its centenary, aspects of the onset, conduct, and aftermath of this war. Combining insights from the study of international relations, political science, strategic studies, military history, migration studies, and social history the contributions tell the story of leaders and decisions, battles and campaigns, voluntary and involuntary migration, and the human stories of suffering and resilience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Onset\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Profiling the Political and Military Leaders of the War \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Correlates of Obsession: Selectorate Dynamics and the decision of Venizelos for military intervention in Asia Minor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Conduct\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Asia Minor Catastrophe: The causes of the Greek defeat. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Greek Military Strategy in the Asia Minor Campaign, 1919-1922: An Application of Clausewitz’s Theory on Culmination\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Decisive Battles of the Asia Minor Campaign 1921-1922\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Legacy of the Stormtroop: The Influence of German Assault Troop Doctrines in the Great Offensive\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Life in the Rear: The Muslims of Greece during the Anatolian War (1919–1922)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: Aftermath \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9: Kemalism on the march: Greece’s military campaign in Asia Minor as Turkey’s birth act\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10: The Greek-Turkish War and the Waves of Migration: Redemption or Devastation? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11: The Tale of Karamanlıs: Inbetween the Two Worlds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12: Between Memories of Persecution and Refugee Experience: The Armenians in Greece in the Aftermath of the Greek-Turkish War\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040844480855,"sku":"9781498585071","price":100.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498585071.jpg?v=1750948033","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/salvation-and-catastrophe-9781498585071","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
