The book explores the political dynamics, historical contexts, and social conditions of the Balkan states during a tumultuous period characterized by Ottoman rule and rising nationalist sentiments. It aims to provide insights into the plight of the Christian populations in these regions and the challenges they faced under Turkish governance. The opening of the book sets a critical tone, discussing the dire humanitarian situation in the Balkan Peninsula under Ottoman rule. Curtis establishes a historical backdrop by emphasizing the cultural and political significance of the region, while detailing the tragic consequences of Turkish oppression on its inhabitants, particularly during the upheaval in Macedonia. He highlights the ongoing atrocities and injustices faced by Christians, including massacres and forced conversions, underscoring the lack of effective intervention from European powers, which complicates any hope for reform or relief. In essence, the opening serves to lay the foundation for a detailed examination of the intricate political machinations that have left these provinces "lost" to their former glories and plunged in suffering.
