Book Description

Excerpt from Regilding the Crescent The title of this book, for which the author is indebted to a friend, is not intended as any cynical allusion to the superficial nature of Turkey's effort at rehabilitation, but expresses merely an open mind on the probability of her success, with a sincere wish that it may be accomplished. The book makes no attempt to tell the thrice-told tale of the Turkish Revolution. Mr. E. F. Knight, the brilliant correspondent of the Morning Post, has done this in The Awakening of Turkey; and more recently Mr. Francis McCullagh, whom the author last remembers seeing in that memorable street fight in April, has thrown new light on those interesting events in his Downfall of Abd-ul-Hamid. Both books should be read by the student of the most amazing revolution in history, that of Portugal not excepted.
