Two war years in Constantinople : $b sketches of German and Young Turkish ethics and politics

"Two War Years in Constantinople: Sketches of German and Young Turkish Ethics" by Harry Stürmer is a firsthand account of life in Turkey during World War I, told through the eyes of a correspondent grappling with moral and political turmoil. The book chronicles the author's evolving perspective, beginning with his arrival in Constantinople with empathy for the Turkish people, and shifting as he confronts atrocities and becomes critical of both the Turkish regime and the German government's role in the unfolding brutalities, particularly against the Armenians; his time spent on the front lines also contributes greatly to his evolving feelings and opinions about the war. It's a story about a man wrestling with his conscience amidst the harsh realities of war, caught between conflicting loyalties and witnessing firsthand the dark side of political alliances.
