"I have never thought of any book on the history of the Armenian
Genocide as inspiring. All of them have been illuminating and
sobering to the core . . . except this one. Khatchig, in his
passionate and clear-eyed commitment to his decades long study and
heavy lifting, has taken the blue flame of the pain of the Genocide
and churned it into an offering of hope and a sincere reminder to
all who resist today and who will no doubt resist tomorrow. We need
this book for our souls now more than ever. I hope that Khatchig's
scholarly torch will illuminate and inspire you when you read this
masterful book." - ERIC NAZARIAN. Armenian Weekly
"Khatchig Mouradian's impressive first book, The Resistance
Network, highlights the rich potential that Armenian sources hold
not only for Armenian Genocide studies but for scholars of mass
violence, more broadly. The result is a stunning piece of
scholarship that boldly suggests that the defining story of the
Armenians is not so much the Armenian Genocide but their resistance
to it." - International Journal of Middle East Studies
"Mouradian's is by far the most thorough and original account of
resistance by Armenian victims to the genocide perpetrated by the
Ottoman Empire during WW I. His data-rich, precisely crafted
investigation of the Turkish policy of deportation and slaughter,
using hitherto neglected sources, offers a grounded yet highly
original analysis of the murder of a million Armenians expelled
from their homeland to Syria." - Choice Reviews
"We now have an impressively straightforward, well-researched, and
convincing account of how the genocide of the Armenians, and the
mostly local and humanitarian, resistance to that state-initiated
and state-led campaign of destruction, played out in Syria
1915-1918." - MATTHIAS BJORNLUND, historian
"Khatchig Mouradian has written a pathbreaking book on the Armenian
genocide. Using a wealth of untapped sources in multiple languages,
he shows how a humanitarian resistance network emerged in Ottoman
Syria that saved the lives of many Armenians. The Resistance
Network is essential reading not only for the new insights it
offers on the Armenian genocide but also for the compelling
analysis of humanitarianism and resistance in times
of great atrocities." --ERIC D. WEITZ, author of A World Divided:
The Global Struggle for Human Rights in the Age of Nation-States
