Overall, Ambassador Morgenthau's Story is a powerful and important historical document that sheds light on an often-overlooked chapter in world history.It was some time before the story of the Armenian atrocities reached the American Embassy in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.
