Introducing evidence from more than 600 secret Ottoman documents, this book demonstrates in unprecedented detail that the Armenian Genocide and the expulsion of Greeks from the late Ottoman Empire resulted from an official effort to rid the empire of its Christian subjects. "This is an important book in that its evidence comes primarily from Ottoman documents produced by the perpetrators-sources that were previously thought to be either inaccessible or irrelevant to the issues."---Robert Melson, Holocaust and Genocide Studies
