Written in spring 1914, just before the war that began in the Balkans, this book gives a correspondent’s impressions of the vexed peninsula. Fox covers the coming of the Turk and the fall of Turkish power, the wars of 1912 and 1913, Balkan diplomacy and the comic trials of reporting a war under censorship, with jottings from his travel notebook.
