This remarkable book recreates one of the watershed moments in the history of the Middle East—the 1860 massacre and the destruction of the old Ottoman world in Damascus. Eugene Rogan vividly describes the disorder across the Levant, which resulted in the massacre of thousands of Christians, amid tensions caused by reforms and European influence. The book explores how a once tolerant city descended into chaos, and offers an essential insight into the emergence of the modern Middle East.
