Description

Arming the State provides a comprehensive historical analysis of universal conscription as a military recruitment method across the 19th and 20th centuries, with particular focus on the Middle East and Central Asia. This scholarly work examines how conscription was forcibly implemented in agrarian and underdeveloped societies, often disregarding individual circumstances, economic consequences, and widespread local opposition. The book brings together contributions from social and political historians, offering fresh perspectives beyond traditional military history accounts. It investigates conscription practices across Ottoman Turkey, Egypt (where some of the most severe forms emerged), Iran, Central Asia and the Balkans, providing critical insights into how state militarisation shaped these regions during a transformative historical period.

Key Features

Arming the State combines social and political history perspectives with traditional military history analysis across multiple regions.

The book examines conscription in Ottoman Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Central Asia and the Balkans from 1775 to 1925.

This I.B. Tauris publication explores how universal conscription disrupted agrarian societies and generated intense local resistance.

Used book in good condition, offering affordable access to this important scholarly work on military recruitment history.
