The year was 1922: World War I had just come to a close, the Ottoman Empire was in decline, and Asa Jennings, a YMCA worker from upstate New York, had just arrived in the quiet coastal city of Smyrna to teach sports to boys. Several hundred miles to the east in Turkey's interior, tensions between Greeks and Turks had boiled over into deadly violence. Mustapha Kemal, now known as Ataturk, and his Muslim army soon advanced into Smyrna, a Christian city, where a half a million terrified Greek and Armenian refugees had fled in a desperate attempt to escape his troops.

Very informative. I struggled to finish the book because I could only take so much misery in a sitting. I would put away and go back to it a month later. If this was on the silver screen it would be x rated for violence. Today, few people know of this terrible part of human history and even fewer know of the existence of the Greeks of Asia Minor, barely 100 years ago.
