In The Turk in America, historian Justin McCarthy seeks to explain the historical basis for American prejudice towards Turks in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The volume focuses on fraudulent characterizations of Turks, mostly stemming from an antipathy in Europe and America toward non-Christians, and especially Muslims. Spanning one hundred and fifty years, this history explores the misinformation largely responsible for the negative stereotypes of Turks during this period.

Review
"This is a fascinating book! It is thoroughly researched and the footnotes reflect a comprehensive treatment of the subject. The Turk in America corrects a markedly one-sided historiography and breaks new ground in its exposition of how the Ottoman Turks came to be vilified in the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."—Edward J. Erickson, Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University
"The author is to be congratulated for his meticulous and detailed research. He has done a first class job of writing a history of ethno-religious propaganda as it was directed against 'the Turks' from the nineteenth century onwards, with special focus on the contribution of missionaries to anti-Ottoman propaganda in the nineteenth century, the dissemination of British propaganda in the United States during the First World War, and 'Politics and the Missionary Establishment,' as the author entitles one of his chapters. The research is comprehensive, the sources detailed, and the writing strong and direct."—Jeremy Salt, Bilket University, Ankara, Turkey

A SUPERB BOOK BY AN IMPARTIAL U.S. HISTORY PROFESSOR DOCUMENTING HOW THE WESTERN(U.S)MEDIA FABRICATED LIES ON SO-CALLED GENOCIDE
By Mehmet Sahinoglu
A powerful documentary book showcasing to the world in detail about the reality-documented perspective of Turks and Kurds being falsely accused of atrocities and Armenians' cleansing during the declining periods of the 600-year old Ottoman empire in U.S. media and by missionaries following a planned successful campaign of how the real historical facts were brutally twisted. Especially Justin McCarthy’s The Turk in America (pp.105–157) disproves horrible claims based on rumored falsehoods by perpetrators.. See pp. 105-157. This is a well-written Turkish-lives-matter based self-defense addressing both the laymen and the intellectual world including the politicized Mr. Pope, the revengeful, in Vatican who are blaming Turkey for the falsehood-laden genocide tall-tales when those poor folks only had out-of self-defense to protect their livelihood to stay sane and alive during those horrible and disastrous wars. This is by far the most eye-opening book along with "Death and Exile", Justin McCarthy's other facts-based-historical manuscript that I would genuinely and highly recommend to those readers eager to learn the truth, freed of prejudice. These two books, Death and Exile, and The Turk in America are MUST read by all Turks (and especially history-lovers elsewhere before they jump the gun and make accusations about other nations) and Americans alike to learn about their history rather than au verbatim imitating incorrect and baseless, merciless U.S. media propaganda deliberately set fire by missionaries and cash-paid complicit fabricators of late 1800s and early1900s. What a superb accomplishment this book is! Kudos to Professor Justin McCarthy for his courageous, fearless and scientific approach.
PS: Professor Halil INALCIK, who taught at Chicago Univ. until 1993 and dubbed the North-Star of historians as the greatest Osmanist of the world as well as being recognized as the doyen of Ottoman historians and a well-respected guru by an entirety of the contemporary U.S. Ottoman historians who studied the Ottoman/Turkish history (in Univ. of Chicago and Princeton etc. in USA), would have expressed the same sentiments had INALCIK not unfortunately died yesterday at the age of 100, born in 1916 in Istanbul to Turkic-Crimean parentage a century ago. May he rest in peace!

Turks need to Fight the Prejudices revealed in The Turk in America
By Yuksel Oktay
The Turk in America, The Creation of an Enduring Prejudice
By Justin McCarthy
The book, published in 2010 by the University of Utah, was introduced during the March 14-16 Turkish American Leadership Conference in Washington DC. I had gone through its 500 pages but not read it since some of the subjects in the book are already covered in many books, especially in the two volume "The Genocide of Truth" by Sukru S Aya, ", and in close to one hundred books and articles by Prof.Dr. Turkkaya Ataov, the Turkish International Relations teacher known around the world for his research on the Armenian and other issues. However, none of Ataov's or Sukru Aya's books are listed in the 28 page Bibliography which includes over 500 books by both Turkish and foreign writers. Another important book related mainly to the Missionary activities in Turkey, "Turkiye'deki Amerika - America in Turkey" by Dr. Uygur Kocabasoglu (TAC graduate) is not included in the Bibliography either, although this is the main topic of discussion in the book. Frank A. Stone's, "Academies for Anatolia" is in the list.
To be sure, and much to Prof. McCharty'se credit, there are many very interesting revelations in the book, explained in an excellent manner and in great detail. The first chapter, "The Missionaries Depart", opens with the comments by Pliny Fisk, the first American missionary to the Middle East, presented during his farewell sermon as he left Boston to Turkey:
Judea is inhabited by several interesting classes of men. The principal of these are Mohammedans (1), and Jews; and Roman Catholic, Greek, Armenian and Syrian Christians. The Mohammedeans, who are masters of the country, who posses most of its wealth, and who have the exclusive management of political concerns, are, as you well know, the followers of that artful imposter, who arose in Arabia, about the commencement of the seventh century..."
The second chapter, Turks and Muslims in Early America, begins with the statement: The image of Turks began with a historical disadvantage in early America. The new American Republic, despite the secularism of its Constitution, was a resolutely Christian state. Little was known of Islam, except as a supposed enemy of Christianity..."
Chapter 3 chronicles the Greek rebellion, Chapter 6 tells all about the Bulgarian Horrors and Chapter 7 is about the Americans and the Armenians. This is where the truth about the Armenian issue is spelled out in many ways. Armenian falsifications and American way of informing the public who probably did not know where Armenia or Turkey were, especially the often false and imaginary reporting by the New York Times and the Associated Press, are presented in detail ..
Chapter 9 is on the creation of the Near East Relief as a continuation of "the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian relief (ACASR) founded in November 1915, and which still exists today, headed by an Armenian-American, in an office downtown Manhattan. The activities of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) is told in detail, including that of James L. Barton, the missionary leader of the Boston based and still active organization.
The final chapter, "The Last Act for the Missionary Establishment", begins with a statement that "The Missionaries' political hopes for the Armenians were thwarted forever by the victories of the Turkish Nationalists in Anatolia and the Bolsheviks in the Caucasus" And yet, there is no mention of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's statement on the Armenian issue, who also had a lot to say about the Missionaries. The final section, "A sea Change", states that "With the campaign for the Lausanne Treaty the missionaries had turned form enemies of all things Turkish to supporters of Turkey."
The Epilogue covers the continuation Myth of the Terrible Turk. This is probably why only a dozen Americans and twice that number Turkish-Americans attended a presentation on Ataturk and Turkey at the Hunterdon County Library in Clinton, NJ on May 21, 2011. Most of the questions asked were on Today's Turkey, which seems to parting from Ataturk's principles. They all stated the same thing, "They knew nothing about Ataturk or the Turks" and one lady stated that her friends tried to dissuade her when she told them that she was going to Turkey. Se also suggested that presentations such as the one at the Hunterdon County Library should be made across America in order to tell the truth about the real Turk and the beautiful country of Turkey.
I received the book as a present from Sevgin Oktay, the moderator of the Concerned People to Set The Record Straight (cptstrs) group which published a small booklet early this year with 9 subjects on the "Armenian falsifications". Most of the topics in the booklet are also covered in Prof. McCharty's book. This is what Sevgin Oktay added as a comment on the last blank page:
End Note: I call this the Justin - Wikileaks" on what has transpired behind the scenes against the Turks for so long. It is an eye-opener and calls for united effort to expose it like this book does so admirably, and then let the sunshine disinfect-.
The above suggestion could be followed by all the Turkish-American Associations and partial reading of the book with a critical evaluation of its contents and omissions can be made. Anyone interested in participating in this event could contact their associations and design an action plan how to fight the anti-Turkish efforts presented in this book, which are often overlooked. Those who have read the book are encouraged to share their comments, in writing if possible, with those involved with this type of activities. Brief review of other books on Turkey and the Middle East, which either ignore Turkey completely or presents distorted facts, distributed earlier, can also be made available. This is a must read book for those who are working on the reconciliation between the Armenians and Turks, including all the leaders of the NGOs and many government authorities.
Best regards.

Notes. (1) Referring to Muslims as Mohammedan is not proper, a mistake made by some foreigners.
(2). The fact that the US Senate has not ratified the Lausanne Treaty is also covered in detail.

Valuable for anyone!
By muharrem sev
This book is essential reading for anyone who is interested in knowing more about why there are sad (or bad) stories about the Turks and the Armenians; or the Turks and the Greeks; or how missionary organizations just before the First World War built bias and prejudice in North America towards Ottoman Turks and Muslims in the Middle East. Sections on British and American collaboration in sharing "creative" news, especially the numbers, are particularly thought provoking. It is also amazing or surprising that there was tremendous lack of critical analysis at the editorial desks of the newspapers published during that period in the USA.
If you had inherited any stories from your parents or grand-parents or read something in school books or listened to a sermon at church on these subjects or have any Turkish-Armenian-Greek friends and heard their stories, you will benefit immensely from this book. It may shake your beliefs, though!
