The first eight chapters and the biographies of this work are abridged from L.P. Brockett's history The Cross and the Crescent, written at the beginning of the Russo-Turkish War. Bliss then added an account of that war, primarily with London newspaper reports as sources, particularly the Daily News. The first eight chapters contain the history of Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, and an assessment of the military, diplomatic, and economic situation of each country in the lead up to 1877.

“An amusing (really) account of the murderous ways of despots, slave traders, blundering royals, gladiators and assorted hordes.”—New York Times Evangelists of human progress meet their opposite in Matthew White’s epic examination of history’s one hundred most violent events, or, in White’s piquant phrasing, “the numbers that people want to argue about.” Reaching back to the Second Persian War in 480 BCE and moving chronologically through history, White surrounds hard facts (time and place) and succinct takeaways (who usually gets the blame?) with lively military, social, and political histories.
