An anonymous publication which reveals the author in close touch with European rulers and prime ministers. “He sipped coffee, smoked cigarettes, and talked with the ‘various kings and princes of the Balkan states,’ the Sultan of Turkey, and nearly all the members of the various cabinets, as well as with people of the middle class and with peasants, in order to form some conclusion as to the real situation—political, economical, social, and financial—in this European hotbed of discord.” (Dial.)
“The author is animated by strong, though obviously unconscious, bias against the Hellenic element in the Balkans, as well as against Germany and Austria.”
