A Concise History of the Armenian People, George A. Bournoutian (softcover)

The early edition of the much praised A History of the Armenian People, published in two separate volumes between 1993-94, was the first history of the Armenians from ancient times to the early 1990s published in English. It was adopted as a required text and used as a basis for lectures by instructors of Armenian history. The current political importance of the region has necessitated a revised and updated edition. The present volume examines the history of Armenians in relation to that of the rest of the world. Its main purpose is to familiarize Armenians and non-Armenians with a people and culture that is absent from most history courses and texts.
