Red Flag Unfurled by Ronald Suny
Reconsidering the Russian Revolution a century later
On They can live in the desert but nowhere else": A History of the Armenian Genocide:
Suny is admirably dispassionate in explaining the particular circumstances that led the Ottoman government to embark on a policy of mass extermination-- Dominic Lawson * Sunday Times *
On They can live in the desert but nowhere else": A History of the Armenian Genocide:
What distinguishes Suny's scholarship is a scrupulous attention to context and the genuine imperial anxiety of the Young Turks. They Can Live in the Desert but Nowhere Else (a title taken from another Talat diktat) is a fair-minded account. Unsparing in depicting the viciousness of the killing, forced conversions and kidnapping of children and young women, it is rigorous in its choice of language and nuance, generous in its empathy but implacable in its conclusions. -- David Gardner * Financial Times *
