# New Directions In Turkish Studies

The New Directions In Turkish Studies book series provides scholarly analysis of the historical and political landscape of Turkey. The first volume, Occupied Istanbul, examines the period following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the First World War. This historical study focuses on the five year occupation of the city by British, French, and Italian forces, a timeframe often overlooked in traditional narratives of the Turkish War of Independence.

This academic novel series explores the intersection of European imperialism and the modern history of the Middle East. Through detailed research on policing, commerce, and infrastructure, the series reveals how foreign occupation impacted the social and cultural life of Istanbul. By addressing these neglected historical records, the series serves as an educational resource for those studying First World War history and the evolution of the Turkish state.
