About This Book

The author presents a first-person account from the imperial capital during the wartime years, blending eyewitness narrative with political analysis. He examines how foreign military missions reshaped the army and empowered local factions, describes administrative breakdowns, shortages, and humanitarian suffering, and critiques diplomatic maneuvering and propaganda. Chapters alternate between anecdotal reminiscence and topical essays, and the text is supplemented by illustrative photographs and documentary material.

About the Author

Morgenthau, Henry portrait

Henry Morgenthau

Henry Morgenthau was an American diplomat and author, best known for his role as the U.S. Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during World War I. His experiences in this tumultuous period are vividly recounted in his memoir, "Ambassador Morgenthau's Story," which provides a firsthand account of the events leading up to the Armenian Genocide. Morgenthau's writings reflect his deep concern for human rights and his advocacy for the Armenian people. In addition to his diplomatic work, he authored several other notable works, including "All in a Life-time" and "Secrets of the Bosphorus," which further explore his insights into international relations and the complexities of the era.
