Very Good/noDJ. Light sun, light cock, light edge foxing, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.
An early book for the American audience on the 1894-96 massacres of Armenians by the Ottoman Turks. It reviews Turkish and Armenian history and culture, is well-illustrated with photographs of everyday life, and gives political, ethnic and religious reasons for the massacres, influenced by the views of American missionaries in Armenian areas. While not in Zempel, this was a book sold by subscription, so written to appeal to an American audience seeking popularized and sensationalized information.
