Written at the height of the First World War, this British book was primarily designed to be an anti-German propaganda piece, based upon the Kaiser's alliance with the Ottoman Turkish Empire before and during the Great War. Despite this original intent, the Crescent and Iron Cross objectively answers the burning question of why the German Kaiser decided to ally himself with the Ottoman Turks-an empire which had tried to destroy the Germans, and indeed all the European people, for the previous five hundred years. In addition, this work provides a detailed and valuable account of the Armenian holocaust, in which the Ottoman Turks effectively wiped out those people in what was unquestionably a major crime against humanity.
