Book Description
"Abul Hamid, the Sultan of Miss Haslip's entrancing book, was born in a Turkish harem. His mother, a consumptive Circassian dancer, died when he was only seven years old, leaving him to fend for himself in the corrupt and scheming world of his father's court and to learn from his very early years the invaluable art of dissimulation. Called to the throne at the age of thirty-four, when his brother Murad was declared incapable through alcoholic deterioration of the brain, he ruled for thirty-three years as an absolute sovereign. He proved to be a consummate politician who kept his country going by setting the Great Powers one against the other. Too weak to oppose the aggressive policies of Russia by force, he thwarted them by playing upon Britain's fears for her Suez route to India and Austria's fears of a Slav-dominated Balkans. Realizing the Turkey's European possessions were a liability, he contrived to make their loss his gain by ensuring that the jealousies of Serb, Greek and Bulgar among the warring races of the peninsula should prevent the emergence of a united foe on his northern frontier. Miss Haslip has fully explored the devious intrigues of the period and the wily policies of Abdul Hamid, but she is as much concerned with the man as with the power he wielded and the means by which he secured his country's safety until his dependence upon Germany brought destruction in the First World War."--Jacket.

Book Description
Excerpt from Turkey and Its Future The nineteenth and twentieth centuries will probably be noted in future history as an age of fundamental changes, both in the political and scientific worlds. It has been an age which has witnessed a marvellous increase in scientific discoveries and in their adaptation to the well-being of the human race. It has also been an age of revivals, of the awakening into life of races which had been long considered as somnolent, if not dead. The changes which have taken place in the East have startled the Western world as something almost supernatural in their suddenness. Who could have thought, fifty years ago, that Japan would spring in so short a time from semi-barbarism, as was supposed, to be one of the strongest Powers in the world? We have at last recognised the fact that the best results of Western civilisation, and a knowledge of applied science in all its forms, can be acquired and even improved upon by Oriental peoples. We must admit that what has been accomplished by Japan may, in time, be also effected by other Eastern nations, with results that no man can foresee; and that it was from no lack of mental capacity or intelligence that the East has, for so many ages, looked upon Western civilisation with haughty indifference, if not contempt. The learning and traditions of the Eastern sages of the past were considered sufficient wisdom for the happiness of the human race.
