Description

The book presents the official findings of an Inter‑Allied commission sent to the turbulent districts of Yalova, Guemlek and the Ismid Peninsula in the spring of 1920. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the investigators recorded testimonies from Turkish, Armenian and Muslim residents, visited burned villages, and noted the movements of Greek and Armenian armed groups. Their report offers a vivid snapshot of the chaotic aftermath of the war, detailing displaced populations, the sparse military presence, and the breakdown of civil administration.

Readers will encounter a meticulous catalogue of villages razed, bodies discovered, and refugees escorted toward Constantinople, all set against the backdrop of competing national forces. The document preserves the voices of ordinary civilians caught in the conflict, providing scholars and history enthusiasts with a raw, contemporaneous account of the region’s suffering and the early attempts at international fact‑finding.
