Produced by Jonathan Ingram, L Barber and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Crescent and Iron Cross" by E. F. Benson is a political and historical analysis written during the early 20th century. The book delves into the complex and tumultuous relationship between Turkey and its subject peoples, particularly focusing on the atrocities committed against Armenians during the late Ottoman Empire. It draws upon various historical sources and contemporary accounts to illuminate the events and ideologies that shaped this dark period. At the start of "Crescent and Iron Cross," the author outlines his examination of the Ottoman Empire's historical context, establishing a framework for understanding the systematic oppression that took place against non-Turkish populations. In the opening chapter, Benson critiques the notion of Turkey as a "sick man" and instead asserts that it embodies a "sickness" that preys upon the vitality of its subject races. He examines the historical lineage of Turkish domination and emphasizes the Ottoman policy shift under leaders like Abdul Hamid and the Young Turks, highlighting the devastating Armenian massacres as a tragic consequence of their rule. Benson’s compelling narrative sets the stage for a thorough exploration of how these events unfurled during the early 20th century, underscoring the urgent need for historical reckoning and accountability.
