The Thirty Year Genocide by Benny Morris
Turkey's Destruction of Its Christian Minorities, 1894-1924
This historical analysis delves into the systematic extermination of Christian minorities in the Ottoman Empire and early Turkish Republic from 1894 to 1924. It meticulously chronicles the orchestrated campaigns against Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks, arguing that these acts constituted a continuous genocide over three decades. Through a comprehensive examination of archival documents and firsthand accounts, the narrative reveals the political, social, and ideological motivations behind the atrocities, challenging conventional narratives and shedding light on a dark chapter in history that reshaped the region's demographic landscape.
