This is a monumental work, powerful, scholarly, and comprehensive. It covers a span of 3,000 years from the Urartians to the Azeris, from the Assyrians to the Turks, depicting heroes, villains, the glory, and the suffering of an ancient race.
This book is the first of its kind. It is one of the most authoritative books ever written in English on the Armenian people. While other books about the Armenians cover only a certain period in history, this book covers the whole history from the ancient times to modern days, written by a man who has spent a lifetime studying the Armenians and their historical experience. Written in narrative form, the book discusses the origin of the people, the conversion into Christianity, the battle for religious freedom, the Armenian culture, the Genocide, the Armenian republic, the Diaspora, and the struggle for survival. Historical events are presented with proper considerations of the economic and political factors in ancient civilizations with analysis and cause and effect.
Throughout history the Armenians have lived in perpetual conflict between national survival and national subordination and suffered cruelly at the hands of their neighbors and mightier powers. Their history is a chronicle of incessant suffering unparalleled both in degree and continuity in the history of any other race. Despite their sufferings, few in the world have demonstrated courage to acknowledge the great injustices that had been inflicted upon them and few in the world know the true story of the Armenian people. The world knows them more for their sufferings than for their accomplishments.
From the cities of the Fertile Crescent to the empire of Rome and the birth of Christ, the Armenians were there with their contributions for the development of the fundamentals of civilized life. They were there when mankind's earliest thinkers were formulating their thoughts in the cradle of civilization. Throughout history they have demonstrated a phenomenal stamina for survival with an ability to transform tragedy into happiness, despair into hope, defeat into inspiration, ordeal into challenge. They consider themselves a small nation among the great ones, but they made tremendous achievements and endured longer, while others disappeared.
This is a story that had to be told. Unique in its presentation and powerful in its content. It is our hope that this book will stimulate interest in the Armenian people whose story was put away from memory most of the time.
