Ambassador Morgenthau's Story (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161420869)

""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. In this book, Morgenthau recounts his experiences and observations during his tenure as ambassador, including his interactions with high-ranking officials in the Ottoman government, his efforts to aid Armenian refugees who were being persecuted and massacred by the Ottoman authorities, and his role in negotiating the release of American prisoners of war. The book also provides insights into the political and social conditions of the Ottoman Empire during the war, as well as Morgenthau's personal reflections on the challenges and rewards of his diplomatic mission. Overall, ""Ambassador Morgenthau's Story"" is a fascinating historical document that offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in world history.""It was some time before the story of the Armenian atrocities reached the American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.
