About this audiobook
It doesn’t seem like Enver Pasha was a good man. His war crimes have caused the deaths of millions of innocent citizens. Sure, during a war and a collapsing empire, you try to do what you can to stop losing, but I doubt anyone in the right mind can justify his actions, which included the slaughter of minorities in the Ottoman Empire during World War 1, and even the Armenian Genocide, which consisted of releasing prisoners upon the Armenian population to have their way and abuse, murder, rape, and pillage. Deportation of Armenians to remote areas, away from their homes, caused many to starve, drown, or become severely ill. And to this day, the Turkish government is still somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the severity of that historical atrocity.
Let’s learn more about Enver Pasha in this book, as far as history reaches into the depths of time, and find out what made him the way he became, what circumstances contributed to his reactions and commands, and the details of what he did.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I recommend this book for different reasons. I found out a lot simply by soaking everything up. The information was excellent, particularly if you already understand a bit about the issue. Actually, you might understand nothing about it and still follow along effortlessly. In my eyes, it was quite great. There might just have been a few hardly detectable mistakes in there, but they didn't trouble me. Whenever you can listen to a storyteller who is that good, and about a concept that you're interested in, you don't care about the rest. That's the end of the story.
