Description:

1939 Harbi: Türkiye - İngiltere İttifakı ve Büyük Britanya İmparatorluğu is a contemporary Turkish work written during the early years of the Second World War, examining the military, political, and diplomatic developments of the conflict together with Turkey’s foreign policy. The book focuses particularly on the Turkish–British alliance and the strategic position of the British Empire during the opening phase of the war.

Mümtaz Faik Fenik discusses the diplomatic background of the 1939 Turkish–British alliance, Turkey’s efforts to protect its territorial integrity and remain outside the war, and the strategic considerations surrounding the rapidly changing international situation. The work also examines Britain’s military, economic, and naval strength, as well as wartime subjects such as blockade, self-sufficiency, and the use of substitute goods in wartime economies.

Published in Ankara by Zerbamat Basımevi in 1941, while the Second World War was still underway, the book is especially notable as one of the early Turkish works devoted specifically to the ongoing conflict. Its contemporary perspective makes it valuable for understanding how the war, Turkish foreign policy, and relations with Britain were being discussed in Turkey during the war years.

For collectors of Second World War history, Turkish diplomatic history, wartime publications, and early analyses of the conflict, this 1941 edition is an interesting contemporary source reflecting the political and strategic concerns of Turkey during the opening years of the war.
