Today’s headlines are full of references to jihad and jihadists; but they’re nothing new: a century ago; the entry of the Ottoman Empire into World War I was accompanied by a loud proclamation of jihad as well. This book resurrects that largely forgotten aspect of the war; investigating the background and nature of the proclamation; as well as its effects in the wider Middle East; the fears it stoked among German and British military leaders; and the accompanying academic debates about holy war and Islam.
