The Armenians cover

Originally published in 1981, this book tells the story of the Armenian dispersion and gives a graphic account of the persecution of the Armenians by the Turks from 1895 to 1922 which foreshadowed the Jewish holocaust at the hands of Hitler, who is said to have modelled some of his own ideas on those of the Young Turks. Drawing upon material from little-known sources, this book follows the trail of the Armenians from their native lands around Mount Ararat to such far-flung spots as lhasa, Harbin and Buenos Aires. This lively and readable book is an excellent account of a people who have been partly in exile for some 2,000 years.

‘Lang has compiled a well-written account of history and myth.’ Los Angeles Times

‘The Armenians, in their time, have been even more persecuted than the Jews, at any rate proportionately. David Marshall Lang provides a history of these fascinating people.’ Auberon Waugh,The Daily Mail

‘A compendium of fascinating information not available elsewhere. The Armenians are remarkable people, and this book helps us to know them better.’ Church Times

‘This is an encouraging book for it is a saga of the indestructibility of the human spirit.’ New Law Journal.
