Reviews
You are holding in your hands a masterfully written book on modern Armenian politics, culture and history. Gaidz Minassian's book is a great contribution and enrichment not only of our understanding of Armenian history, but also of recent developments in Armenia. This outstanding work will be one of the most important channels through which we learn about contemporary Armenian history culture and politics. * Taner Akcam, Professor of History and Robert Aram, Marianne Kaloosdian and Stephen and Marian Mugar Chair in Armenian Genocide Studies, Clark University * Gaidz Minassian deals with a broad range of Armenian historical and political issues, with an emphasis on modern and contemporary times. His approach creates a stimulus for further deliberation, as he questions, when deemed appropriate, certain solidified traditional views and preconceived ideas and lays the groundwork for rational reconsideration and discourse. * Richard Hovannisian, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles, and Presidential Fellow, Chapman University, USA *
