About this product
Product Information
On April 24, 1915, Grigoris Balakian was arrested along with some 250 other leaders of Constantinople's Armenian community. It was the beginning of the Ottoman Empire's systematic attempt to eliminate the Armenian people from Turkey--a campaign that continued through World War I and the fall of the empire. Over the next four years, Balakian would bear witness to a seemingly endless caravan of blood, surviving to recount his miraculous escape and expose the atrocities that led to over a million deaths. Armenian Golgotha is Balakian's devastating eyewitness account--a haunting reminder of the first modern genocide and a controversial historical document that is destined to become a classic of survivor literature.

Reviews
"A fascinating first-hand testimony to a monumental crime." -The New Yorker "Gripping and harrowing. . . . A powerful and important book. . . . It takes its place as one of the key first-hand sources for understanding the Armenian Genocide." -Mark Mazower,The New Republic "Powerful. . . . Riveting. . . . A poignant, often harrowing story about the resiliency of the human spirit [and] a window on a moment in history that most Americans only dimly understand." -Chris Bohjalian,Washington Post "An appalling and magnificent book. . . . It owes its existence to [Balakian's] determination to survive to write it . . . a sacred task that gives him the strength to persevere through the impossible circumstances that killed well over a million of his countrymen." -Benjamin Moser,Harper's "Read this heartbreaking book.Armenian Golgothadescribes the suffering, agony and massacre of innumerable Armenian families almost a century ago; its memory must remain a lesson for more than one generation." -Elie Wiesel "Shocking and brilliant. . . . Exquisitely rendered. . . . This book has the feel of a classic about it, and I suspect that future writers on historical trauma and its representation will turn eagerly toArmenian Golgotha. It's a massively important contribution to this field." -Jay Parini,The Chronicle of Higher Education "An extraordinary narrative . . . beautifully translated. . . .Armenian Golgothawill influence Armenian genocide studies for decades." -John A. C. Greppin,The Times Literary Supplement(London) "Monumental. . . . Balakian provides strong evidence that these gruesome proceedings were carried out under official orders from the highest level. . . . For generations to comeArmenian Golgothawill remain a first-hand documentation of a historic tragedy written from the perspective of a talented scholar." -Henry Morgenthau, III,Boston Sunday Globe "[A work] of exceptional interest and scholarship." -Christopher Hitchens,Slate "The translation and publication ofArmenian Golgothain English is long overdue. It constitutes a thundering historical proof that those who deny the Armenian Genocide are engages in a massive deception." -Deborah E. Lipstadt, author ofDenying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory "Groundbreaking. . . . Comprehensive. . . . Sobering. . . .Armenian Golgothais replete with narratives that focus on collective suffering, marking this memoir as one of the few to explicate the true nature of the crime. . . . Balakian's memory is extraordinary, but so, too, are his intellect, his compassion and his ethical obligation to immortalize his beloved co-nationals." -Donna-Lee Frieze,The Jewish Daily Forward "An Armenian equivalent to the testimonies of Holocaust survivors like Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel." -Adam Kirsch,Nextbook "The descriptions of the Armenian genocide are striking and the author spares his readers none of the gruesome details. . . . A riveting and powerful indictment of a genocide that became a paradigm for future genocides." -Holger H. Herwig,The Gazette(Montreal) "An essential memoir, a lively and extraordinary life story. . . . This is more than an eyewitness account, it is a masterful history in its own right." -Seth J. Frantzman,The Jerusalem Post "Weighted with eyewitness accounts and distinguished b, "Read this heartbreaking book.Armenian Golgothadescribes the suffering, agony and massacre of innumerable Armenian families almost a century ago; its memory must remain a lesson for more than one generation." - Elie Wiesel "Grigoris Balakian'sArmenian Golgothais a powerful, moving account of the Armenian Genocide, a story that needs to be known, and is told here with a sweep of experience and wealth of detail that is as disturbing as it is irrefutable." - Sir Martin Gilbert "In this extraordinary account, Grigoris Balakian makes astute psychological observations about himself and his fellow prisoners, and equally astute interpretations of the behavior of Turkish perpetrators and German collaborators in the Armenian genocide. His writing is clear and compelling, as rendered in sensitive translation. He has a keen sense of history, and his extensive travels enable him to record a tragic European panorama. This book will become a classic, both for its depiction of a much denied genocide and its humane and brilliant witness to what human beings can endure and overcome." - Robert Jay Lifton, author ofThe Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide, "A fascinating first-hand testimony to a monumental crime." -The New Yorker "Gripping. . . . A powerful and important book. . . . It takes its place as one of the key first-hand sources for understanding the Armenian Genocide." -Mark Mazower,The New Republic "Powerful. . . . Riveting. . . . A poignant, often harrowing story about the resiliency of the human spirit [and] a window on a moment in history that most Americans only dimly understand." -Chris Bohjalian,Washington Post "An immensely moving, harrowing memoir that instantly takes its place as a classic alongside Primo Levi'sSurvival in Auschwitzand Elie Wiesel'sNight." -Carlin Romano,The Chronicle of Higher Education "Read this heartbreaking book.Armenian Golgothadescribes the suffering, agony and massacre of innumerable Armenian families almost a century ago; its memory must remain a lesson for more than one generation." -Elie Wiesel, author ofNight "An appalling and magnificent book. . . .

I am very pleased with the price of this new book (the lowest I found). I'm happy with the prompt shipping. The only problem was that the box was damaged during shipping. The new book itself sustained very minor cosmetic damage, no doubt from rough handling. The seller offered to send me a return label at no cost, which I do appreciate. However, I was able to repair the slight damage very easily. Thanks again for your concern.
