''The Druzes and the Maronites Under the Turkish Rule from 1840 to 1860'' is a historical account written by Colonel Charles Churchill. The book delves into the complex political and social dynamics of Lebanon during the mid-19th century, specifically focusing on the interactions between two religious groups: the Druzes and the Maronites. Churchill explores the tensions and conflicts that arose during the period of Turkish rule, which lasted from 1840 to 1860. He provides detailed descriptions of the various battles and skirmishes that occurred between the two groups, as well as the larger political context in which they took place. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Lebanon or the broader Middle East region.1862. Colonel Charles Henry Churchill writes in the preface that: Although some months have elapsed since the appalling intelligence of the massacres in Syria burst upon the civilised world...a full appreciation of their meaning can only be attained by a consideration of the various causes which, accumulating and gathering strength through the preceding twenty years, at last culminated in that extraordinary calamity. Through his residence in Lebanon, Churchill gained firsthand knowledge of the mind of the two great sects, the Druzes and the Maronites, into which its population is divided, and shares his insights as to what brought about this horrific turn of events.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
