[A] major breakthrough in the our understanding of the social engineering that led to the near destruction of the Armenians of Anatolia, and of the dual-track mechanism for organizing it that the Young Turks employed. . . . [A] must for serious scholars of the Armenian Genocide.--John M. Evans, former U.S. Ambassador to Armenia (2004-2006) American Diplomacy

[A] major breakthrough in the our understanding of the social engineering that led to the near destruction of the Armenians of Anatolia, and of the dual-track mechanism for organizing it that the Young Turks employed... [A] must for serious scholars of the Armenian Genocide. -- John M. Evans, former U.S. Ambassador to Armenia (2004-2006) American Diplomacy Akcam has long courted controversy in Turkey, where he was jailed as a student activist in the 1970s before claiming asylum in Germany, but his intellectual courage is beyond question. Moreover, while Turkey's official account of what happened in 1915 is unchanged, Turkish public and intellectual opinion is now much more open to debate. This dispassionate, scholarly study is a valuable contribution to help that debate move on. -- Delphine Strauss Financial Times [T]he fact that a Turkish historian with access to the Ottoman archives has written this book is of immeasurable significance. Foreign Affairs
