Istanbul 1914 – 1922 - The Greeks of the City among Shortage, Hope and Collapse

For those drawn to the intersection of personal narrative and grand-scale collapse, Istanbul 1914–1922: The Greeks of the City among Shortage, Hope and Collapse is a hauntingly essential read.

Drawing on rare parish and patriarchal archives, this study reveals a city pushed to its limit by WWI, defined by pauperisation, sanitary crises, and refugee flows. Amidst the chaos, the Greek Orthodox community faced a paradox: surviving wartime mobilisation only to find their irredentist hopes ignited.

RRP: £19.99 | Publication Date: 09 February 2026  ISBN: 9783847119395 | Publisher: Brill Deutschland GmbH
