Autorenporträt
John Sandes (1863 – 1938) was an Irish-born Australian journalist and author, best known for his war correspondence and his book 'Under the Red Crescent' (1911), which chronicles his experiences with the Red Crescent during the Italo-Turkish War of 1911 as a war correspondent. This war marked the end of Ottoman sovereignty in Libya and the beginning of Italian occupation, making Sandes's account a valuable historical reference for scholars studying early 20th-century colonial conflicts and the Ottoman Empire's decline. In his writings, Sandes offers a unique portrayal of the war from the perspective of the Red Crescent, which provided him with significant insights into the humanitarian aspects of wartime medical care. His narrative is a rich blend of journalism and adventure, set against the backdrop of conflict, and is noted for its vivid descriptions and attention to detail. Sandes's literary style is characterized by a blend of factual reporting and personal anecdotes, immersing readers in the historical period he describes. His work contributes to the genre of wartime reportage and stands as a testament to the conditions and challenges faced by international war correspondents during the early 20th century.
