Ambassador Morgenthau's Story - Paperback - 9781419105722

Ambassador Morgenthau's Story is a memoir written by Henry Morgenthau, an American ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The book provides a firsthand account of the Armenian Genocide, which Morgenthau witnessed and tried to prevent. It also offers insights into the political and social climate of the Ottoman Empire at the time, including the role of the Young Turks and their policies towards ethnic minorities. Morgenthau's personal experiences and interactions with key figures, such as Sultan Abdul Hamid II and Talaat Pasha, are also detailed in the book. Overall, Ambassador Morgenthau's Story is a significant historical document that sheds light on a dark chapter in human history.It was some time before the story of the Armenian atrocities reached the American Embassy in all its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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
