Ambassador Morgenthau's Story

Bag om Ambassador Morgenthau's Story

Ambassador Morgenthau's Story is a memoir written by Henry Morgenthau, who served as the United States ambassador to the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The book chronicles Morgenthau's experiences in Istanbul and his efforts to aid the Armenian people during the Armenian Genocide. Morgenthau's account provides a firsthand look at the atrocities committed against the Armenians and the political maneuvering that took place during the war. Additionally, the book offers insights into the diplomatic relationship between the United States and the Ottoman Empire during this time period. Overall, Ambassador Morgenthau's Story is a powerful and important historical document that sheds light on an often-overlooked chapter in world history.It was some time before the story of the Armenian atrocities reached the American Embassy in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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
