Product Description:
A History of International Human Rights and Forgotten Heroes
In this national bestseller, the critically acclaimed author Peter Balakian brings us a riveting narrative of the massacres of the Armenians in the 1890s and of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. Using rarely seen archival documents and remarkable first-person accounts, Balakian presents the chilling history of how the Turkish government implemented the first modern genocide behind the cover of World War I. And in the telling, he resurrects an extraordinary lost chapter of American history.

- excellent and informative
I think that the resources upon which this book is based are excellent! Written in a quasi-scholarly manner, I found this to be an easy read, in general.

Turkey can hoot & holler all it wants to, but I will never believe they played no part in all this, as they claim to this day. Why would a nation of hard-working, unarmed christians attack ... Read More
Rating: - A Reader-Friendly Tutorial of the Genocides
This book is full of well-documented facts and quotes related to the continued massacres of the people of Armenia and those living in other countries under Turkish rule.
The chronological format allows readers a comprehensible "understanding" of each successive "event" from the late-1800s thru the failed post-World War I efforts of international leaders to establish and protect a free and independent Armenia following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire.
My hope is that a ... Read More
