Reviews
"Mouradian's is by far the most thorough and original account of resistance by Armenian victims to the genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire during WW I. His data-rich, precisely crafted investigation of the Turkish policy of deportation and slaughter, using hitherto neglected sources, offers a grounded yet highly original analysis of the murder of a million Armenians expelled from their homeland to Syria.-- ""Choice Reviews"" We now have an impressively straightforward, well-researched, and convincing account of how the genocide of the Armenians, and the mostly local and humanitarian, resistance to that state-initiated and state-led campaign of destruction, played out in Syria 1915-1918.--Matthias Bjørnlund, historian I have never thought of any book on the history of the Armenian Genocide as inspiring. All of them have been illuminating and sobering to the core . . . except this one. Khatchig, in his passionate and clear-eyed commitment to his decades long study and heavy lifting, has taken the blue flame of the pain of the Genocide and churned it into an offering of hope and a sincere reminder to all who resist today and who will no doubt resist tomorrow. We need this book for our souls now more than ever. I hope that Khatchig's scholarly torch will illuminate and inspire you when you read this masterful book.--Eric Nazarian ""Armenian Weekly"" ""Khatchig Mouradian has written a pathbreaking book on the Armenian genocide. Using a wealth of untapped sources in multiple languages, he shows how a humanitarian resistance network emerged in Ottoman Syria that saved the lives of many Armenians. The Resistance Network is essential reading not only for the new insights it offers on the Armenian genocide but also for the compelling analysis of humanitarianism and resistance in times of great atrocities."" --ERIC D. WEITZ, author of A World Divided: The Global Struggle for Human Rights in the Age of Nation-States"
