Inasmuch as it determined the destiny of a fairly substantial state, it's annoying that there's virtually nothing in English. To my knowledge, the following: Various stray internet summaries. Kinross's biography of Ataturk. A fine book -- but obviously not primarily concerned with the one particular war. Hellenic Vision (or something.) Also a perfectly good book -- but again, not really about the war per se. More the dynamics of the internal Greek political struggle. An impossibly illiterate, biased, and generally inane book written by some Pakistani officer. The worst of it is that given Turkey's fairly long-standing military establishment, there's probably a considerable volume of work on the war -- if not necessarily balanced work. Of course, it'd all be in Turkish... Stanford Jay Shaw's From Empire to Republic: The Turkish War of National Liberation, 1918-1923 : a documentary study. vol. 3, part 1, From Turkish resistance to the Turkish war of national liberation, 1920-1922 could be worth a look. In the same series, volume 5 is dedicated to the author's bibliography. You also have David Fromkin's A peace to end all peace : the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the modern Middle East. Finally, Edward J. Erickson and Mesut Uyar are set to publish this september a Military History of the Ottoman Empire: Mehemet to Ataturk , which later chapters could provide some piece of information too. Thanks. More than I was hoping for. You're most welcome - always ask your librarian.
