...totally innovative ...Dadrian exhibits exemplary objectivity and provides us with the fruits of a life of scholarship and research.

Dadrian's] painstaking archival work, and his] wide reading in the relevant sources in Turkish, Armenian, German, French and English has no parallel. The book will stand as a monument parallel to Hilberg's master work, The Destruction of the European Jews ... He has] forced me to rethink the entire issue of comparisons and differences between the Armenian experience in World War I and the Jewish experience in World War II. * Steven T. Katz, Cornell University ...an outstanding piece of scholarship ...based on years of meticulous study of primary sources ... * Leo Kuper, University of California ...the author has pioneered the sociological study of the Armenian Genocide ... * Roger Smith, College of William and Mary, Virginia The Armenian Genocide, though not given such prominent treatment as the Jewish Holocaust which it precedes, still haunts the Western world and has assumed a new significance in the light of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and, more recently, Darfur. This study by the most distinguished scholar of the Armenian tragedy offers an authoritative analysis by presenting it as a case study of genocide and by seeing it as an historical process in which a domestic conflict escalated and was finally consumed by global war.
