"A finely written, brave, and very personal book." -Orhan Pamuk
In 2001, Christopher de Bellaigue wrote a story for "The New York
Review of Books," in which he briefly discussed the killing and
deportation of half a million Armenians from Turkey in 1915. These
massacres, he suggested, were best understood as part of the
struggles that attended the end of the Ottoman Empire. Upon
publication, the "Review" was besieged with letters asserting that
this was not war but genocide. How had he gotten it so wrong? De
Bellaigue set out for Turkey's troubled southeast to discover what
really happened. What emerged is both an intellectual detective
story and a reckoning with memory and identity. Rebel Land unravels
the enigma of the Turkish twentieth century-a time that contains
the death of an empire, the founding of a nation, and the near
extinction of a people.
