Jonathan McMurray - Distant Ties: Germany, the Ottoman Empire, and the Construction of the Baghdad Railway
Publisher: Praeger | 2001-07-30 | ISBN: 0275970639 | PDF | 168 pages | 8.68 MB


As the first study to document the Baghdad Railway construction rather than the rhetoric surrounding it, this work challenges nearly a century of scholarship on German imperialism and Ottoman decline. McMurray unearths the fascinating, intercultural dimension of the railway and provides a comprehensive, detailed account of the Ottoman contribution. His work denies the German character of the railway by showing it to be an exclusively Ottoman enterprise designed by German engineers, funded by international capital, and built by a veritable army of Ottoman subjects.
