| Summary: | Taner Akçam, who holds the Kaloosdian and Mugar Chair in Armenian Genocide Studies at Clark University, is the first scholar of Turkish origin to acknowledge and publish on the Armenian Genocide. Willing to speak out publicly in Turkey—like Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk—he has been prosecuted for his views. His previous book, A Shameful Act: The Armenian Genocide and the Question of Turkish Responsibility (2006), provided a historical analysis of the genocide. In this volume, Akçam introduces and critically examines hundreds of documents from the Ottoman archives. |
