Fahrettin Altay – Ten Years of War and Aftermath 1912–1922 (On Yıl Savaş ve Sonrası) – Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları Turkish Edition (2022)

Description:

This Turkish edition of Ten Years of War and Aftermath 1912–1922 (On Yıl Savaş ve Sonrası) by Fahrettin Altay was published by Türkiye İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları in 2022. Printed in Turkish, this memoir presents a firsthand account of the turbulent decade that witnessed the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the birth of the Republic of Türkiye through the experiences of one of the country's most distinguished cavalry commanders.

The book chronicles Fahrettin Altay's military service during the Balkan Wars, the Gallipoli Campaign, and the First World War, including his observations on the Palestine and Syrian fronts, the logistical challenges of desert warfare, and his early collaboration with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. His recollections provide valuable insight into the daily realities of Ottoman officers during a period of continuous conflict.

A substantial portion of the memoir is devoted to the Turkish War of Independence, where Altay commanded the 5th Cavalry Corps. He describes the strategic role of cavalry in reconnaissance, rapid assaults, and operations behind enemy lines, culminating in the Great Offensive and the liberation of İzmir in September 1922. As a primary historical source, the work offers an important perspective on both the final years of the Ottoman Empire and the foundation of modern Türkiye.
