I am looking for books which have much information on the life and politics of the Turkish leader Enver Pasha.
There are NO biographies about him in English language (his rival Mustafa Kemal, aka Kemal Attaturk has several).
Why is this? Pasha had a hand in the Armenian genocide, was a main rival for power with Attaturk, and tried to make his way with the Bolsheviks but I think he was killed during the Russian Civil War years. Louis Bryant has a chapter devoted to him in her book "Mirrors of Moscow" ("a man completely unaware of time"). He seems like a fascinating character. What books can one find him in? In English language please.
Thanks, Duncan.
Enver Pasha
Re: Enver Pasha
Enver Pasha has no biographies because his rival was M.Kemal and he was the man that came to power. History is written by victors , you know. Plus , Enver Pasha gets a lot of hate because of his poor leader and generalship. He is even blamed for Ottoman Empire's involvement in WW1 sometimes (which is not realistic since there were a lot more factors than just Enver Pasha).
