| Summary | "Herzegovina; Or, Omer Pacha and the Christian Rebels" by George Arbuthnot is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the social and political conditions of Herzegovina during a time of turbulence, focusing on Omer Pacha's military campaigns against Christian rebels. Arbuthnot aims to give a personal and observational account of the people, cultures, and sociopolitical dynamics within the region. At the start of the work, Arbuthnot outlines his motivations for traveling to Herzegovina, chiefly the Turkish government's response to a rebellion against its authority. He sets off from Trieste and describes his journey across various Dalmatian ports, introducing a cast of characters including fellow travelers and locals. As he explores towns like Zara and Sebenico, Arbuthnot reflects on historical significance, local customs, and the contradictory sentiments of the inhabitants regarding the Turkish rule. The narrative establishes a backdrop of tension between the Ottoman Empire and the Christian populations while foreshadowing the military actions that will unfold under Omer Pacha's leadership.
