Description

The Plague of Asia is a shocking personal account by diplomat George Horton, who served as the U.S. consul general in Smyrna during the years of the Great Catastrophe in Asia Minor. As an eyewitness, he highlights the organized massacres of Greeks and Armenians by the Turks and the passive stance taken by the Great Powers.

"The Plague of Asia is a book that must be read by anyone who is even slightly interested in understanding the complex and avoidable events that led to the destruction of the city of Smyrna... Horton's narrative is reliable and significant. He was himself an eyewitness to many of the shocking events he recounts in his book and saw with his own eyes many acts of terrorism, including the persecution of Christians living in Asia Minor."

From the foreword by author and historian Giles Milton

    Shocking, all Greeks must read it to learn the real facts so that we do not experience the same or worse.
