This article presents information on the book "Ambassador Morgenthau's Story," by Henry Morgenthau. Henry Morgenthau, U.S. ambassador to Turkey, has limited himself to telling his own story, though, he purports to reveal important diplomatic secrets, conversations with former German Ambassador at Constantinople, Turkey. The contents of Morgenthau's book, all questions of taste and the professional code aside, have considerable interest. He represented about ten belligerent nations at the Porte, and therefore had some extremely difficult work of detail. His was the task of saving the subjects of belligerent nations from Turkish vindictiveness.
