ALFRED KAERGER:KLEINASIEN,EIN DEUTSCHES KOLONISATIONSFELD. BERLIN 1892 First edition, in 8vo, contemporary boards with attached the original paper cover, complete 93p., text clean and bright, scattered foxing only at the title page, overall in very good condition. This account was the reveal of the final target of the ideological frame of the German expansion to the Levant at the late 19th century.Kraeger argued that the sparsely then populated Anatolia was perfectly suited for German farmers, the climate of the interior was very adequate for the northern people and they could replace the unreliable locals to create a Germanic zone. As a German scholar,he provides detailed account for the agricultural and commercial realities of the 1890s for Asia Minor,with valuable data and statistics. A very interesting account, characteristic of the German organized penetration in the Ottoman Levant.
