Arman J. Kirakossian is deputy foreign minister of the Republic of Armenia and author of The Armenian Massacres, 1894-1896: US Media Testimony (Wayne State University Press, 2004), The Armenian Question and the Armenian Genocide, Essays on the History of Armenian Question and the International Recognition of the Armenian Genocide, among other books.
The abundant American diplomatic and journalistic record of the 1915 Armenian Genocide has overshadowed the accounts of the 1894-1896 massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. This compilation of published reports from that era remind us of the extent of those precursor atrocities and the public indignation registered in the United States. Arman Kirakossian, who has assiduously prepared this compilation, persuasively traces American interest in the Armenian Question and in the fate and treatment of the Christian Armenians to these critical years at the end of the nineteenth century. This is an important contribution to the growing scholarly appreciation and documentation of the long, but little studied, history of relations between the American and Armenian peoples based on the principle of values and humanitarian concern."--Rouben Paul Adalian
