The book represents an earthquake in genocide studies, particularly
in the field of Armenian Genocide research. A unique feature of the
Armenian Genocide has been the long-standing efforts of successive
Turkish governments to deny its historicity and to hide the
documentary evidencesurrounding it. This book provides a major
clarification of the often blurred lines between facts and truth in
regard to these events. The authenticity of the killing orders
signed by Ottoman Interior Minister Talat Pasha and the memoirs of
the Ottoman bureaucrat Naim Efendi have been two of the most
contested topics in this regard. The denialist school has long
argued that these documents and memoirs were all forgeries,
produced by Armenians to further their claims. Taner Akcam provides
the evidence to refute the basis of these claims and demonstrates
clearly why the documents can be trusted as authentic, revealing
the genocidal intent of the Ottoman-Turkish government towards its
Armenian population. As such, this work removes a cornerstone from
the denialist edifice, and further establishes the historicity of
the Armenian Genocide.
