Ambassador Morgenthau's Story

Henry Morgethau was United States ambassador to Ottoman Turkey between 1913 and 1916. In 1914 he witnessed the Ottoman entry into World War I, followed by the Allied Dardanelles' campaign, and the genocide of Armenians. His memoir, Ambassador Morgenthau's Story, was written in 1918 with the authority of a first-hand observer and remains one of the classic accounts of World War I. This edition of Ambassador Morgenthau's Story includes a critical introduction by historian Ara Sarafian.
