| Summary: | As literature on the origins, course, and legacy of the Armenian Genocide expands, a lacuna in the English-language historiography has been the absence of monographic studies of any of the perpetrators. Indeed, until the work under review, no satisfactory biography of any member of Ottoman Turkey’s ruling Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) was available in any language. Whether biographical accounts—admittedly one of the few genres enduringly popular—can properly disentangle the structural issues that lead to mass atrocities is another, albeit pertinent, question. |
