This work explores the misconceptions about the Ottoman Suryani community of the pre-World War I era, using a critique of the present day historiography as the context for the discussion. The works of three early twentieth century journalists, provide the material for the study. The author contends that this group cannot be considered as Assyrian nationalists, the traditional argument, that they saw the future of the Suryani people as best secured by the continuation of the Ottoman Empire, in which they sought a greater presence for their community.
