Summary: "Two War Years in Constantinople: Sketches of German and Young Turkish Ethics" by Dr. Harry Stuermer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a personal narrative and critical reflection of the author's experiences as a correspondent in Turkey during World War I, revealing insights into the ethical and political climate of the period. The author examines the atrocities committed against the Armenians and the intricate relationship between Germany and the Young Turkish government, as well as how these influenced the war’s unfolding. At the start of the narrative, Dr. Stuermer shares his initial feelings about the war and its impact on Germany and Turkey, as he arrives in Constantinople with a mixture of goodwill toward the Turks and concerns regarding their government. He describes his experiences on the frontlines in the Dardanelles and grapples with conflicting feelings about whom to support—his fellow Germans or the Turks fighting for their existence. As he continues to witness the unfolding horrors of the Armenian persecutions, his perspective shifts dramatically, leading him to criticize both the Turkish regime and the German government's complicity in the brutalities of war. This opening sets the stage for a nuanced exploration of moral dilemmas, political realities, and the personal journey of a man caught between ideologies during one of history's darkest periods.
