Reviews for Daily Life in the Abyss: Genocide Diaries, 1915-1918
This is a meticulously researched and thoughtfully articulated work. It sheds new light on the situation in the Middle East, especially Syria, during World War I, and adds to our understanding of the progressive dehumanization of genocide victims.
