In this book Mr. M. Philips Price, who went to the Near East in 1915 as the correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, gives an account of his experiences and observations during his journeys through Northern Persia, Armenia, and the Caucasus. The first two chapters tell the story of the War on the Caucasus Front down to the Fall of Erzerum. Other chapters consist of the journal of his travels through the territories occupied by the Russian Army, where he spent many months in organizing relief for the destitute native population. The last four chapters describe the Revolution in the Caucasus, and discuss the racial problems and the political future of the countries he visited.
