America and the Armenian Genocide of 1915

Good history which is powerfully revealing. Jay Winter, a Harvard historian, gives the straight facts about the Armenian Genocide and the shameful efforts to evade responsiblity by modern Turkey. Even now 90 years later they continue to blame the victims in their shameful campaign of denial.

Reveiwer Adam "Balaikan" cites Heath Lowry's now laughable attempt to debunked the infamous Hitler quote on the Armeanian Genocide. Newsflash "Adam": Heath Lowry was for twen years a lobbyist (not my word but his) in Washington as a fioreign agent for the govnerment of Turkey. Boston Globe NOv 24, 1995: "For 10 years, Lowry directed the Institute of Turkish Studies in Washington, a lobby set up in 1982 with $3 million from the Turkish government and annual funding from Ankara." Lowry became the laughing stock of academic world when a huge scandal erupted around his attempt to debunk the Armenian genocide. A donez of the top scholars of genocide at universities in Israel proved his simple-minded attempt to disattribute the quote on the Armenains from Hitler was wrong (Adam you repeated Lowry's mistake here). By the way, Hitler's quiote is ENGRAVED in the US Holocaust museum, with full historic attribution from real genoceide scolars -- not sad genocide deniers. No one on the planet has Adam's last name. It is a fake name (a hackneyed attempt to look Armenian). The Ammenian Genocide by Turkey is known everywhwere but Trukey and Truks like Adam simply become shocked when they find out. Snake oil salesmen like Lowry and Justin McCarthy(who also can't get published in serious peer reviewed venues and has to take money from Turkey) will seell their whares to Ankara -- but is not money well spent.

I would recommend serious readers to examine this book alongside two recent documentary volumes published by Gomidas Institute, "United States Official Records on the Armenian Genocide 1915-1917" and "United States Diplomacy on Bosphorus: the Diaries of Ambassador Morgenthau." These two collections provide much of the core archival records underpinning this volume.
