"Secrets of the Bosphorus" represents the memoirs of Henry Morgenthau Sr., U.S. Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1913 to 1916. The book covers Morgenthau's service in Turkey, from 1913 until the day of his resignation from the post. "Secrets of the Bosphorus" is a primary source regarding the Armenian Genocide, and the Greek Genocide during the last years of the Ottoman Empire. When published, the book came under criticism by two prominent American historians regarding its coverage of Germany in the weeks before the beginning of the First World War.

Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references.

Excerpt from Ambassador Morgenthau's Story I have therefore laid aside any scruples I had as to the propriety of disclosing to my fellow countrymen the facts which I learned While representing them in Turkey. I acquired this knowledge as the servant of the American people, and it is their property as much as it is mine. I greatly regret that I have been obliged to omit an account of the splendid activities of the American Missionary and Educational Institutions in Turkey, but to do justice to this subject would require a book by itself. I have had to omit the story of the Jews in Turkey for the same reasons. My thanks are due to my friend, Mr. Burton J. Hendrick, for the invaluable assistance he has ren dered in the preparation of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
