Aaronsohn tells the story of his life, from his early trip to America to being pressed into military service for Turkey. His personal account covers the imposition of Germany into Turkish politics and the effect of German propaganda on Turkish attitudes towards outsiders, including himself. In the events that follow, Aaronsohn struggles to save his home and his family from growing oppression of the Turks. |
