13 of 14 people found the following review helpful. A Preview of the Holocaust By John M. Lane This is a review of CRESCENT AND IRON CROSS by Edward Frederic Benson. Mine is the Kindle edition which is a reformatted version of the original book published in 1918.The author was a prolific author and popular in his time. He died in 1940 and was the author of a large number of fictional works and short stories. He also wrote a dozen non-fiction works including CRESCENT AND IRON CROSS which was published at the end of World War I.Benson writes well, but his style reflects the affectations of Victorian authors. Younger readers might find it a bit of a slog.It's worth it, though. Benson describes some of the worst parts of the Armenian genocide carried out by the Turks. The Armenians were a Christian minority within the Ottoman Empire and millions of them were murdered by the Muslim Turks once World War I got underway.Turkey was an ally of Imperial Germany and Benson sprinkles his graphic descriptions of mass murder with phrases blaming the "Prussian molochs" for inciting the Turks to destroy their Chrisian minority. Coming at the end of a world war which the British and their allies blamed on Germany, this is understandable. Later works do not depict this very real campaign of genocide as being a consequence of German meddling. In fact, some of the best eye-witness accounts of it come from German observers.Throughout all the torture and mass murder, there is an eerie resemblance to the early phases of Hitler's Holocaust against the Jews, especially the operations of the SS Einsatzgruppen in Poland. "Who alive still speaks of the Armenians?" Hitler reportedly asked.The author does and his book is one of the first to do so. I gave it four stars for its pioneering effort. I took one off because I'm descended from Prussians myself.If you're interested in World War I, the Middle East, Turkey, Armenia or mass murder, you'll find this to be a useful reference book. Benson pulls no punches in describing what happened.

But I guess history is full of events like this, even in todays news By Mike Regan Historically interesting as I did not know much about the subject.I am not sure when this book was first published, I assumed some time after the first world war.It is hard to believe that human beings can be so cruel. But I guess history is full of events like this, even in todays news.
