Ambassador Morgenthau's Story: A Personal Account Of The Armenian Genocide

The evocative, first-hand accounts of American ambassador Henry Morgenthau regarding the Armenian genocide are one of the most thorough, authoritative sources on the atrocities. This book contains the full accounts of Henry Morgenthau throughout his posting in Constantinople, Turkey. At the time the Ottoman Empire was on the brink of collapse; amid the chaos and upheaval began the Armenian genocide, a ruthless campaign of targeted killing which occurred over eight years, from 1915 to 1923. As ambassador, Henry Morgenthau received regular, excruciating reports of mass murder and forced deportation. Despite the efforts of Henry Morgenthau to convince his superiors in Washington to intervene on humanitarian grounds, his pleas fell on deaf ears. The evidence he personally reviewed and verified are related in this book, as are many high-level meetings Morgenthau personally held with Ottoman leaders in an attempt to stem the holocaust of the Armenian people.
