"Ambassador Morgenthau's Story" by Henry Morgenthau is a memoir published in 1918. The former U.S. Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire recounts his experiences from 1913 to 1916, documenting German-Ottoman relations during World War I. The book serves as a primary source on the Armenian genocide, revealing his conversations with Ottoman leaders who dismissed early reports of atrocities. Unable to secure official U.S. intervention, Morgenthau drew international attention to the unfolding genocide and organized private relief efforts.
