Publisher's Synopsis
In his Constantinople Trilogy, Tahta examines the momentous epoch, from 1915 through 1923, with insight and compassion. Intellectually challenging and sometimes provocative, Tahta has written an inspired literary account of a critical time too often ignored but essential in understanding the roots of contemporary European hostilities. Compellingly told through stories of personal lives, this is historical fiction at its best - humane and deeply moving.
