Produktbeschreibung
A young American physician finds himself swept into the heart of early twentieth-century Turkey-a land of ancient wonders and looming conflict. Clarence Douglas Ussher's riveting historical memoir captures the raw immediacy of life as an outsider on the brink of war. Borders blur. Loyalties are tested. Lives change in an instant. Both adventure autobiography and wartime narrative, this compelling account offers a rare, first-hand perspective on cultural encounters in Turkey during the tumultuous years surrounding the First World War. Ussher's keen eye for detail and deep compassion illuminate the everyday struggles and extraordinary courage of those he meets-civilians and soldiers alike. For readers drawn to travel memoirs in the tradition of Mark Twain, or for fans of Ernest Hemingway's unvarnished prose, these pages pulse with the energy of discovery and the gravity of history. The setting-early 20th century Turkey-comes alive with all its beauty, hardship, and complexity, making this a vital resource for history enthusiasts and anyone fascinated by peace and war experiences abroad. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. A cultural treasure, An American Physician in Turkey stands as both an unforgettable personal journey and a significant document of its era.
