World War I was a watershed, a defining moment, in Armenian
history. Its effects were unprecedented in that it resulted in what
no other war, invasion, or occupation had achieved in three
thousand years of identifiable Armenian existence. This calamity
was the physical elimination of the Armenian people and most of the
evidence of their ever having lived on the great Armenian Plateau,
to which the perpetrator side soon gave the new name of Eastern
Anatolia. The bearers of an impressive martial and cultural
history, the Armenians had also known repeated trials and
tribulations, waves of massacre, captivity, and exile, but even in
the darkest of times there had always been enough remaining to
revive, rebuild, and go forward.
This third volume in a series edited by Richard Hovannisian, the
dean of Armenian historians, provides a unique fusion of the
history, philosophy, literature, art, music, and educational
aspects of the Armenian experience. It further provides a rich
storehouse of information on comparative dimensions of the Armenian
genocide in relation to the Assyrian, Greek and Jewish situations,
and beyond that, paradoxes in American and French policy responses
to the Armenian genocides. The volume concludes with a trio of
essays concerning fundamental questions of historiography and
politics that either make possible or can inhibit reconciliation of
ancient truths and righting ancient wrongs.
