Before Rwanda and Bosnia, and before the Holocaust, the first
genocide of the twentieth century happened in Turkish Armenia in
1915, when approximately one million people were killed. This
volume is an account of the American response to this atrocity. The
first part sets up the framework for understanding the genocide:
Sir Martin Gilbert, Vahakn Dadrian and Jay Winter provide an
analytical setting for nine scholarly essays examining how
Americans learned of this catastrophe and how they tried to help
its victims. Knowledge and compassion, though, were not enough to
stop the killings. A terrible precedent was born in 1915, one which
has come to haunt the United States and other Western countries
throughout the twentieth century and beyond. To read the essays in
this volume is chastening: the dilemmas Americans faced when
confronting evil on an unprecedented scale are not very different
from the dilemmas we face today.
