\They can live in the desert but nowhere else\ : a history of the Armenian genocide

Suny, Ronald Grigor, author

Overview

\"Starting in early 1915, the Ottoman Turks began deporting and killing hundreds of thousands of Armenians in the first major genocide of the twentieth century. By the end of the First World War, the number of Armenians in what would become Turkey had been reduced by ninety percent--more than a million people. A century later, the Armenian genocide remains controversial but relatively unknown, overshadowed by later slaughters and the chasm separating Turkish and Armenian versions of events. In this ... narrative history, Ronald Suny cuts through nationalist myths, propaganda, and denial to provide an ... account of when, how, and why the atrocities of 1915-16 were committed\"-- Provided by publisher.
