Bibliography
Index
Justin McCarthy is professor of history and distinguished university scholar at the University of Louisville.
"A substantial contribution to Turkish-Ottoman and Armenian
studies."--Andrew Mango, London Middle East Institute, University
of London
"Represents a massive revision of what is known in the West about
the Van uprising. A gold mine of new and detailed information....
Unusual in its fair treatment of the Armenians by Turkish
scholars."--The Middle East Journal
"The authors are well-qualified specialists on the Ottoman Empire
who conducted painstaking archival research and who are armed with
essential linguistic and paleographic tools. [They] have finely
crafted a book that will stand for years to come as the standard in
the field and as a monument to their skills and indefatigability
both as researchers and as organizers of research projects. It
therefore deserves a wide readership and should find one outside as
well as within the scholarly community."--Mediterranean
Quarterly
"The authors should be especially commended for attempting to clear
this scholarly discourse from many of the emotional and political
overtones that have characterized it in the past. The authors
present an account that displays both historical accuracy and
compassion regarding the tragic history of both the Christian and
Muslim population of Van. ...this work is also a further
contribution towards a richer understanding of the complex nature
of revolutions, especially lost ones."--Insight Turkey
