This is a comprehensive history of the conflict between the Turks on the one hand and the Greeks and Slavs on the other. Told from a Eurocentric viewpoint, Mackenzie blames Turkey for the poor ways in which religious and ethnic minorities were treated by the Turks.
From the introduction:
“In the advanced stage of civilisation of the present era, we look with regret at the possession by the Moslem of the fairest portions of the world—of countries so favoured by climate, and by geographical position, that, in the early days of the earth’s history, they were the spots most coveted; and that such favoured places should, through the Moslem rule, be barred from the advancement that has attended lands less adapted by nature for development. There are no countries of the earth so valuable, or that would occupy so important a place in the family of nations, as Turkey-in-Europe, Asia Minor, and Egypt, under a civilised and Christian Government.—BAKER.
