First Genocide of the 20th Century, The

Description

" In April 1915, the Armenian people experienced their Way to Calvary. Since then many books have been written about that tragic event. This work is a compilation of what has been written thus far (pre-1968) in books and other publications. We do not intend to present here an epic literary or political work. Rather, we have endeavored to tender our modest share of tribute to the one and a half million victims who perished during the largest-scale atrocity of the twentieth century, to a people whose ancestors were the first in the world to accept Christianity as their national religion — the Armenian martyrs of the Turkish genocide."
