Book Description
The first eight chapters and the biographies of this work are abridged from L.P. Brockett's history The Cross and the Crescent, written at the beginning of the Russo-Turkish War. Bliss then added an account of that war, primarily with London newspaper reports as sources, particularly the Daily News. The first eight chapters contain the history of Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, and an assessment of the military, diplomatic, and economic situation of each country in the lead up to 1877.
