About the Book

Januarius MacGahan (1844–1878) had an incandescent career as a foreign correspondent, covering the Franco-Prussian, Carlist, and Russo-Turkish wars, a Russian incursion into Central Asia, and even an arctic expedition. His reports on the "Bulgarian Atrocities" of 1876 earned him the inscription on his grave marker in New Lexington, Ohio: "Liberator of Bulgaria."

"Dale Walker has done Januarius MacGahan all the honor that has long been due him." [The Smithsonian]

"Mr. Walker's research is as impressive as his writing " [Washington Times]

"For those who enjoy narrative history, this is a book not to be missed." [Journalism Quarterly]
