Publisher Synopsis
"This volume is the most comprehensive and analytical work to address the Armenian genocide from legal-criminal perspective to date. ...[It] should be regarded as an important contribution to the field of Armenian genocide studies, Ottoman legal history, and the history of War Tribunals... It provides readers with a compelling argument about the historical veracity of the Armenian genocide." * The Cyprus Review "Dadrian's and Akcam's handbook must already be considered as an indispensable tool for all who are dealing with the Armenian genocide but also for all those who are involved with the judicial processing of 'crimes against humanity' in the international context of the 20th Century." * Neue Historische Literatur "This book [by Vahakn Dadrian and Taner Akcam, one Armenian, one Turkish, both noted scholars of the Armenian Genocide] stands as a monument of original scholarship on the facts of the Genocide. The wealth of specific citations, the multiplicity of sources surveyed make this volume an invaluable and fundamental source for any future study." * The Armenian Mirror-Spectator "...an exhaustive and definitive treatment of the rise and demise of these trials,.. The book offers meticulous accounts of the Ottoman collapse in 1918 and the question of postwar punitive justice, the preparations, initiation, proceedings, and conditions of the courts-martial, and finally examines the societal context in which the tribunal operated. The authors must be commended for their assiduous engagement with a range of sources. The most innovative of these are articles from the Ottoman press in the armistice, which clearly demonstrate that condemnation of the Armenian genocide was ubiquitous in Ottoman society... a useful reference book this volume was highly due and will prove indispensable for any student of the Armenian genocide." * H-Soz-u-Kult Read more...
