The Armenian Genocide was one of the greatest atrocities of the twentieth century, an episode
in which up to 1.5 million Armenians lost their lives. In this major
new history, the renowned historian Raymond Kevorkian provides an
authoritative account of the origins, events and consequences of the years 1915 and 1916. He considers the role that the Armenian Genocide played in the construction of the Turkish nation state and Turkish identity, as well as exploring the ideologies of power, rule and state violence. Crucially, he examines the consequences of
the violence against the Armenians, the implications of deportations
and attempts to bring those who committed the atrocities to justice.
Kevorkian offers a detailed and meticulous record, providing an
authoritative analysis of the events and their impact upon the Armenian community itself, as well as the development of the Turkish
state. This important book will serve as an indispensable resource to
historians of the period, as well as those wishing to understand the
history of genocidal violence more generally.
