Le premier livre sur la place de l'islam durant la Première Guerre mondiale, durant laquelle 600 000 soldats musulmans servirent la France. Entre 1914 et 1918, l'Allemagne de Guillaume II cherche par bien des moyens à allumer dans les Empires français et anglais une rébellion massive des musulmans. Pour ce faire, quoi de mieux que de pousser le sultan de Constantinople à proclamer la guerre sainte contre les chrétiens ? Tout est pensé, mûri, réfléchi par les stratèges allemands : le panislamisme et le djihad assureront la victoire du Reich. Ce projet, pris très au sérieux dans les ministères de Berlin, Londres et Paris, fut un échec, au sein d'un Empire ottoman en décomposition comme au Maghreb : Marocains, Tunisiens et Algériens servirent massivement dans l'armée française, et tous payèrent leur fidélité au prix du sang. Si les peuples musulmans exigèrent, durant et après la guerre, des droits nouveaux, ce fut le panarabisme, non le panislamisme, qui servit d'étendard commun. Pour rendre compte de cette réalité totalement méconnue, et pourtant passionnante, de l'histoire de la Grande Guerre et restituer tant les plans allemands que les questions qui traversèrent alors le monde musulman sous domination européenne, il fallait la connaissance intime de la période et le sens du récit de Jean-Yves Le Naour.

In the most crucial phase of the Second World War, German troops, fighting in regions as far apart as the Sahara and the Caucasus, confronted the Allies across lands largely populated by Muslims. Nazi officials saw Islam as a powerful force with the same enemies as Germany: the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Jews. Islam and Nazi Germany's War is the first comprehensive account of Berlin's remarkably ambitious attempts to build an alliance with the Islamic world. Drawing on archival research in three continents, David Motadel explains how German officials tried to promote the Third Reich as a patron of Islam. He explores Berlin's policies and propaganda in the Muslim war zones, and the extensive work that authorities undertook for the recruitment, spiritual care, and ideological indoctrination of tens of thousands of Muslim volunteers who fought in the Wehrmacht and the SS. Islam and Nazi Germany's War reveals how German troops on the ground in North Africa, the Balkans, and the Eastern front engaged with diverse Muslim populations, including Muslim Roma and Jewish converts to Islam. Combining measured argument with a masterly handling of detail, it illuminates the profound impact of the Second World War on Muslims around the world and provides a new understanding of the politics of religion in the bloodiest conflict of the twentieth century.

During the two World Wars that marked the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of non-European combatants fought in the ranks of various European armies. The majority of these soldiers were Muslims from North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent. How are these combatants considered in existing historiography? Over the past few decades, research on war has experienced a wide-reaching renewal, with increased emphasis on the social and cultural dimensions of war, and a desire to reconstruct the experience and viewpoint of the combatants themselves. This volume reintroduces the question of religious belonging and practice into the study of Muslim combatants in European armies in the 20th century, focusing on the combatants' viewpoint alongside that of the administrations and military hierarchy.
