Description

When World War I erupted in 1914, Spanish diplomat Antonio de la Cierva y Lewita, known as Conde de Ballobar, was stationed in Jerusalem to lead the Spanish consulate. His meticulously recorded diary documents the dramatic upheavals of wartime life in the city and offers historians an invaluable firsthand account of late Ottoman Jerusalem during one of history's most turbulent periods. Ballobar's observations capture the political tensions, military conflicts, and social transformations that reshaped the region, whilst providing rare insight into the intricate dynamics amongst local churches vying for control of Jerusalem's sacred sites. Published by Bloomsbury and I.B. Tauris, this remarkable historical document reveals the perspectives of a trained diplomat navigating complex diplomatic and religious landscapes whilst Europe was consumed by war. The diary stands as an essential primary source for anyone studying World War I's impact on the Middle East, Ottoman history, or the geopolitical shifts that defined the early 20th century.

Key Features

Conde de Ballobar's personal diary offers direct historical testimony from a Spanish diplomat stationed in Jerusalem during World War I's pivotal years.

The manuscript documents late Ottoman Jerusalem and reveals how wartime upheavals transformed daily life, politics, and international relations in the holy city.

Ballobar's accounts include detailed analysis of disputes amongst local churches seeking control over Jerusalem's religious and cultural heritage during the conflict.

Published by Bloomsbury and I.B. Tauris, this primary source provides essential context for historians studying World War I's geopolitical consequences in the Middle East.

The diary captures a unique diplomatic perspective on the military, political, and social transformations reshaping Palestine and the Ottoman Empire during 1914-1918.
