The Damascus Events: The 1860 Massacre and the Making of the Modern Middle East
Book • 2024
Drawn from never-before-seen eyewitness accounts, Eugene Rogan tells the story of how a peaceful multicultural city came to be engulfed in slaughter.
He traces how rising tensions between Muslim and Christian communities led to near-genocidal violence and how the Ottoman government subsequently moved to retake control, end the violence, and reintegrate Christians into the community.
The book examines the possibility of repair after such conflict and its implications for the modern Middle East.
