Excerpt from The Eastern Question: Its Facts Fallacies
But if this doctrine is tenable, where are we to draw the line? It appears to me that, logically considered the doctrine of the 'irrepressible struggle for empire forbids us to draw any line at all. If, for the sake of selfish gain, we are bound to uphold a political system of which one of the ordinary characteristics is to indulge in brutality beyond conception,' we are clearly justified in indulging in these brutalities our selves, whenever the alternative is the jeopardy of our interests in the 'irrepressible struggle for empire.' But if England would be justified in defending her interests, in the last resort, by brutalities like those of Batak.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book confronts the Eastern Question, exposing the precarious plight of over fourteen million oppressed Christians under Ottoman rule. Despite treaties and lofty promises, their lives, honor, religious freedom, and property are subject to the whims of their Muslim overlords. Throughout history, as evidenced by consular reports and first-hand accounts, these subjects have been victims of massacres, torture, forced conversions, and rampant injustice. The author challenges the commonly held notion that maintaining Turkey's integrity and independence is in England's best interest, arguing that it perpetuates a system of unimaginable cruelty and suffering. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Ottoman system, revealing its inherent tyranny and the urgent need for reform.
