Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of a Turkish Statesman: 1913-1919; Formerly Governor of Constantinople, Imperial Ottoman Naval Minister, and Commander of the Fourth Army in Sinai, Palestine and Syria My personal participation in general politics in the Ottoman Empire begins with the coup d´etat of January 23, 1913. On the evening of that day I left the headquarters of the Lines of Communication Inspectorate and went to the Sublime Porte, to which a great crowd was flocking at the time. At that moment Mahmud Shefket Pasha, who had been appointed Grand Vizier a few hours before, returned from the Imperial Palace and met me at the entrance to the Grand Vizier´s palace. He had hardly seen me before he called out: "Djemal Bey, I want you to take over the Military Governorship of Constantinople at once and you must not lose a minute in taking all measures you think necessary for the preservation of order and confidence in the capital." As I have said, my assumption of the highly important and equally responsible office of Military Governor of Constantinople meant my direct participation in general politics in my Fatherland. I thus find myself compelled to start my memoirs at that point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
