Rodogno takes a historical approach to the issue in this deeply researched study of how the European Great Powers (primarily Great Britain and France) dealt with the massacres of civilians within the Ottoman Empire between 1825 and 1914.\"--Choice \"Enthusiasm for humanitarian interventions in foreign conflicts tends to go in waves, as David Rodogno demonstrates in this erudite and well-researched book.\"--James Pettifer, Journal of Ecclesiastical History \"Against Massacre fills a significant lacuna in the vast and growing literature on humanitarian intervention and will find readers among international relations historians and scholars.\"--Daniel J. Whelan, American Historical Review \"[T]his is an important and groundbreaking work that deserves a wide readership among Ottomanists, Balkanists, scholars of international relations, and public policy experts with interests in the possibilities and limits of intervening to stop mass violence against civilians.\"--Max Bergholz, Historian \"Against Massacre is a major contribution to a history of humanitarianism. Based on a multitude of Western sources, it profits from the new researches on late Ottoman history.\"--Hans-Lukas Kieser, Comparativ \"Through a closer examination of the issue of humanitarian intervention in the nineteenth century, this book has made a valuable contribution to the political history of humanitarian intervention.\"--Pinar Senisik, Insight Turkey \"This book is an easy read. It flows along nicely and will be popular with students and the chattering classes alike, for it says all the right things.\"--Kate Fleet, Journal of Islamic Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments ix  Introduction 1  Chapter One: The International Context of Nineteenth-Century Humanitarian Interventions 18  Chapter Two: Exclusion of the Ottoman Empire from the Family of Nations,and Legal Doctrines of Humanitarian Intervention 36  Chapter Three: Intervention on Behalf of Ottoman Greeks (1821-33) 63  Chapter Four: Intervention in Ottoman Lebanon and Syria (1860-61) 91  Chapter Five: The First Intervention in Crete (1866-69) 118  Chapter Six: Nonintervention during the Eastern Crisis (1875-78) 141  Chapter Seven: Intermezzo-The International Context (1878-1908) 170  Chapter Eight: Nonintervention on Behalf of the Ottoman Armenians (1886-1909) 185  Chapter Nine: The Second Intervention in Crete (1896-1900) 212  Chapter Ten: Nonforcible Intervention in the Ottoman Macedonian Provinces (1903-08) 229  Epilogue 247  Abbreviations 277  Notes 279  Bibliography 345  Index 385","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49526159507799,"sku":"9780691151335","price":46.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691151335.jpg?v=1731863176","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/against-massacre-9780691151335","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
