| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The blight of Asia : An account of the systematic extermination of Christian…. by George Horton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It indicts Ottoman and later Turkish authorities for organized violence against Christian populations—Armenians and Greeks in particular—culminating in the destruction of Smyrna, while also criticizing the complicity and silence of the Great Powers. Framed by the author’s long service in the Near East, it combines eyewitness reporting, quoted testimonies, and polemical argument to portray a deliberate program of extermination and its geopolitical enablers. The opening of the work sets the tone with a foreword condemning Western inaction, followed by an introduction in which the former U.S. consul explains his aims and firsthand vantage—from the Young Turk revolution through the Smyrna fire. Early chapters list major massacres from the 19th century, quote Gladstone’s and others’ denunciations, and describe how post-1908 “Turkification” quickly turned to repression: assassinations, forced disarmament of Christians, torture, and widespread intimidation that helped drive Balkan Christians into alliance. The narrative then shifts to western Asia Minor, recounting boycotts, incitement, killings, expulsions, and the destruction of villages around Smyrna, illustrated by the 1914 sack of Phocea as an “organized” operation. A substantial section presents corroborating evidence on the Armenian deportations—eyewitness accounts from Aleppo and a detailed report by Walter M. Geddes—depicting caravans of women, children, and the elderly dying from brutality, starvation, and disease, and notes similar devastation in the Pontus. It closes this opening portion with the 1919 Greek landing at Smyrna—acknowledging initial shootings and looting, then emphasizing Governor Sterghiades’ swift punishments—and outlines the subsequent Hellenic administration’s reforms, from curbing vice to funding Turkish schools and building public health services.
