Who Rules Turkey After Abdul Hamid Fall
Bowles portrays the post Abdul Hamid era in Constantinople focusing on the Young Turk leadership. He highlights Baron von Beustein as a dominant foreign influence, the sultan’s weakness and idleness, and Gen. Shevket’s puppet role. He also notes a powerful Masonic Jewish faction within the Union and Progress movement and the empire’s multiethnic tensions.
