“Miss McGilvary during the progress of the war was the secretary of the Beirut chapter of the Red cross and hence had unusual opportunities for following the trend of events. The story which she tells, and of which she herself was a part, is of deep interest; how an American printing house was converted into a relief bureau; how American philanthrophy did its part in ameliorating the condition of the unhappy people; how difficulties were thrown in the way by the Turks; culminating presently in the arrest of the entire American mission. She tells in thrilling language of a year of horror, and toward the end, of the collapse of the Central powers, the decline of German prestige, and lastly of the end of Turkey.”—Boston Transcript
“Hers is a story very well worth the reading, for it is the story of one who was upon the spot and was a witness of all of which she writes.”
