Summary "Ambassador Morgenthau's Story" by Henry Morgenthau is a historical account written in the late 19th to early 20th century. The book provides a first-person perspective of Morgenthau’s tenure as the American Ambassador to Turkey from 1913 to 1916, during a critical period leading up to and during World War I. The narrative focuses on the geopolitical intrigues involving Germany and the Ottoman Empire, highlighting Morgenthau’s observations of the Turkish leaders and their manipulations during the war. The opening of the book introduces the political landscape in Constantinople as Morgenthau becomes aware of Germany's ambitions to dominate Turkey and the Near East. He portrays Baron Wangenheim, Germany’s ambassador, as a driven and imposing figure orchestrating Germany's plans to use Turkey as a crucial ally in the war. Morgenthau's reflections also illuminate the inner workings of the Young Turks, the ruling party at the time, depicting a regime that, despite its revolutionary roots, had devolved into a system marked by corruption and brutality. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the disastrous policies that would lead to tragic events, including the Armenian deportations that would have a lasting impact on the region.
