At the start of the narrative, the author outlines the state of affairs in the Levant in August 1839, revealing the backdrop of escalating tensions between the Ottoman Empire and Mehemet Ali's forces. Napier shares insights from his interviews with key figures such as Hosrew Pacha and Sir Robert Stopford, highlighting the precarious position of the Turkish government. He describes the ineffectiveness of the allied squadrons and the potential consequences of their inaction, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of a war that would involve military engagements and diplomatic maneuvers in response to the insurrections and the ambitions of the involved parties.
