Can’t wait to read this book. Hope to have the author at a book fair here in Michigan!
A book that certainly is worth reading, especially that it reveals about an Armenian patriot Aaron Sachaklian , who was one of the key figures in the ARF that plotted Operation Nemesis and assassinated the masterminds of the Genocide.
Another book that is a must-read is Eric Bogosian’s “Operation Nemesis” which can be ordered on Amazon.com.
Nemesis in Greek mythology was the goddess of retribution or vengeance. And Vengeance it was at a time following World War I, when the big powers were playing their games and no one was talking about the Genocide that had occurred but the world had forgotten.
For those AW readers who are interested, the French-German ARTE TV Channel has produced a documentary on Operation Nemesis, entitled also “Tehlirian’s Trail”. It is an extremely well documented production as it puts Talaat and the Turkish government on trial.
