The History of the Armenian Genocide, Vahakn N. Dadrian (hardcover)

This study by Vahakn Dadrian, one of the most distinguished scholars of the Armenian Genocide, has become a classic since its original publication. It offers an authoritative analysis by presenting it as a case study of genocide through the vast corpus of official Ottoman Turkish documents, as well as those of Germany and Austria-Hungary, Turkey’s wartime political and military allies, and by seeing it as a historical process in which a domestic conflict escalated and was finally consumed by a global war. It also establishes a link between genocide and nationality conflicts in the Balkan peninsula and the Turkish-Armenian areas.
