Editorial Review:
"By this time the American people have probably become convinced that the Germans deliberately planned the conquest of the world. Yet they hesitate to convict on circumstantial evidence and for this reason all eye witnesses to this, the greatest crime in modern history, should volunteer their testimony..."
It was some time before the story of the Armenian atrocities reached the American Embassy in all its horrible details. In January and February fragmentary reports began to filter in, but the tendency was at first to regard them as mere manifestations of the disorders that had prevailed in the Armenian provinces for many years. When the reports came from Urumia, both Enver and Talaat dismissed them as wild exaggerations.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent insight to Ottoman Empire's last days
Ambassador Morgenthau's Story reveals very important facts about a critical situation in a critical location prior to WWI and during it's initial two years. It was facinating to learn the psychic of the German goverment and their perception of other countries just before the WWI broke out. His book can serve as an excellent example of how history has the tendency to repeat itself and how we, the citizens of the earth, fail to learn from it.
It demonstrates human greed and hunger for ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent insight into WWI Turkey & Armenian massacres
Morgenthau's (US ambassador to Turkey 1913-1916) book offers outstanding insight into the personalities and actions of the Young Turks that governed WWI Turkey. One sees far more virulent nationalism and genocide than reform and modernism. This book, along with 'Smyrna 1922', offers an essential contrast to the predominant Turkish historiography, which is a whitewash of extraordinary crimes. The book was originally published in 1918 and, though very readable, is written in dated prose.
Rating:  - He lied before,he's probably lying again.
People have to keep in mind that Morgenthau was the originator of one of the most celebrated anti-German propaganda myths of WWI,the Crown Council story.When investigated after the war this incident was found to be completetly false.Morgenthau obviously had no qualms about making things up for propaganda purposes.He has to be considered an unreliable source of information.If he lied once he's probably lying here too.
Rating: - An Unforgettable, Astonishing Book!!
A true classic book about the 1915 Armenian Genocide and other crises in the Turkish region. Ambassador Morgenthau represented America with courage, dignity, and compassion. What a unique man and a heroic story. This book is guaranteed to touch your heart, inspire your faith, and encourage you that even in the most desperate, horrific situations there is still hope and the opportunities to show love and mercy are more pronounced when all hell breaks loose. An unforgettable and timely book!
Rating: - A very true reading about first Genocide of 20th century
