By the early 1900s, the Ottoman Empire was beginning to dissolve. Upon seeing this weakness, Germany set its own plans into action in the capital of Constantinople-to bring the vast Turkish Empire under its control. In this book, American statesman HENRY MORGENTHAU SR. (1856-1946) details how Turkey fell under the influence of Germany and how this led to the Armenian Genocide. In a trial run of the extermination of the Jews, the Germans orchestrated the murder and exile of the Armenians from Turkey, with "Turkey for the Turks" as a rallying cry. The similarities to the Holocaust are chilling. Anyone intrigued by the history and politics of Eastern Europe will find Morgenthau's memoir enlightening. And scholars will gain great insight from reading this first-hand account of an often forgotten tragedy.

History repeats itself

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017

A very interesting background for similar events taking place in the same area today. It left me sad, considering all his efforts and temporary successes- it shows that even with all his efforts not much changed. A lesson, perhaps we need to learn today. The differences between Western & Eastern mentality are huge.

I was very disappointed that the Amazon version of this book had no drawings or pictures available in the Kindle version.

All of the drawings referenced were not visible...a real shame!

This is a very interesting book because it is written by someone who was in Turkey at such a pivotal moment in time.

A book that is very important for any understanding of Turkeys role in WW1 and the Armenian genocide. But there is a Turkish side to the story which he minimizes.

Criticized for pointing out the German connection

Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2014

I'm glad that his grandson made frequent appearances on tv as NYC's District Attorney otherwise I would never have watched a PBS documentary called "morgenthau" the best part of which is not about his grandson but about the super cool American ambassador to Turkey who spotted and bravely pointed out the German influence in Turkey. He spotted them in 1915.

He noticed that the Germans were prone to using genocide and he described it like an Agatha Chrystie detective or a profiler pinning down the murderer's style. "Deportation en masse is in modern times exclusively Germanic."

Namibians, Armenians and some other people should stand together and tell their story. If you are going to teach history, then please really teach it to us. Don't make us cobble together all these clues. If you teach the Holocaust, teach Armenian and Namibian similarities so that Chinese people can understand what an EXCELLENT party member! John Rabe really was when he advised the Japanese that nanjing local police had removed their uniforms and sought SANCTUARY along with other Chinese in the hitherto protected foreigner zone. We'll, guess what effect that advisement made upon the Japanese trespassers.

ETA: And as much as this must have infuriated the Germans, Henry Morgenthau's actions did not worsen their hatred for his tribe.

Because there is one ancestral land that does not match the religion of its neighbors preventing an easily controlled monopoly (until those fools' turn it was for the ice cold attentions of their advisors.)

It's just like Sean penn's character says near the end of Thin Red Line: it's all about real estate.

Just as we see the fictional character of Hannibal lecter's reaching out even from prison to advise and instruct other serial killers, like organized criminals, the ringleaders sniff out homicidal tendencies in others and refines them for profit. They advise and share insights into sadism and annihilation and coincidences between the two axis partners should be reexamined and discussed in this context before it's too late.

The Armenian Genocide: Evidence from the German Foreign Office Archives, 1915-1916 is also available online but how amazing that a German reporter for Der Spiegel should write such an important supporting document of Ambassador Morgenthau's assessment.

Fiction lies

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2015

First of this book is a fiction which uses real names in it. It was just written for war propaganda.
Please read The story behind Ambassador Morgenthau's story written by Heath W. Lowry.
And please think how many Turkish officers killed by the Armenian terrorists between 1970 and 1980 because of the similar boks.
Besides during the same era 1138294 muslim civilians lost their lifes at Van, Bitlis, Erzurum, Diyarbakır, Elazığ, Sivas, Adana, Trabzon mostly killed by Armenian gangs supported by Russian forces which was nearly 4 times than Armenian loses during forced migration
