This volume collects reports and analyses of a series of diplomatic and military conflicts between Russia and Turkey in the Holy Land in the late 19th century. The conflicts centered on the control of various religious shrines, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the tomb of Abraham. The authors describe the complex religious and geopolitical background of the conflicts and examine the roles played by various European powers, including Britain and France. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East, the intersection of religion and politics, and the complex geopolitics of the modern era.
