By Henry H. Riggs

An Armenian missionary born in the Ottoman Empire, gives a first hand account of events in Kharpert during the Genocide. Writen immediately after the events, this story tells of the destruction of Armenian neighborhoods within the context of the Ottoman war effort on the Caucasian front. The author's vivid details will highlight the systematic way the Armenian Genocide was carried out.

This book is probably the most detailed local history of the Armenian Genocide written in English. In Riggs' forthright style, both tragic and ironic elements of the monstruxse events provide a disturbing but compelling narrative. Students of World War I and the modern Near East will also learn from this volume.
