A chronicle of the Armenian Genocide factor in the subsequent suppression, by the intervention of the United States government, of the movie based on Franz Werfel's The Forty Days of Musa Dagh. Until today it has become the most on-again and off-again motion picture production in Hollywood history.

This book is thoroughly documented based on research in the MGM archives and the US State Dept., Franz Werfel Papers, the American Film Institute and interviews with personalities involved in the film project.

The author, Ed Minasian, who holds a Master's Degree in History, is extensively involved in the Armenian community. Meticulously researched book.

Hard cover, 385 pages, appendix, bibl. and index.
