Children of Armenia by Michael Bobelian
An illuminating and powerful chronicle of the historical, yet oft-forgotten, Armenian genocide and its devastating aftermath. From 1915 to 1923, the Ottoman Empire drove the Armenians from their ancestral homeland and slaughtered 1.5 million of them in the process. While there was an initial global outcry and a movement led by Woodrow Wilson to aid the starving Armenians, the promises to hold the perpetrators accountable were never fulfilled. In this groundbreaking work, Michael Bobelian profiles the leading players--Armenian activists and assassins, Turkish diplomats, U.S. officials--each of whom played a significant role in furthering or opposing the century-long Armenian quest for justice in the face of Turkish denial of its crimes, and reveals the events that have conspired to eradicate the forgotten Genocide from the world's memory.
