HENRY MORGENTHAU BOOK ABOUT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN OTTOMAN TURKEY REPRINTED IN US
"Ambassador Morgenthau's Story" book, written by US ambassador to Ottoman Turkey in 1913-1916 Henry Morgenthau narrating also about the Armenian Genocide committed by the Young Turk government early last century, is reprinted in the US. His book includes a chapter on Armenians, entitled, "The Murder of a Nation," in which he writes, "I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no such horrible episode as this. The great massacres and persecutions of the past seem almost insignificant when compared with the sufferings of the Armenian race in 1915." As noted by the Armenian National Institute, in his time Henry Morgenthau was the first American to alert the world of mass crimes perpetrated by the Young Turks against the Armenian people.
