The articles in this excellent compilation present a chilling picture of a ruthless, inhumane campaign to exterminate many thousands of Armenians. The plight of the Armenians during the Hamidian massacres of 1894-1896 was widely reported in the press of the United States and other Western countries. The missionaries, public figures, and concerned journalists who authored these reports clearly cared for and deeply sympathized with the Armenian people. A total of 35 essays published in a variety of newspapers and journals contribute to picture the massacres and their response in the United States.
