A New York Times bestseller, The Burning Tigris is "a vivid and comprehensive account" (Los Angeles Times) of the Armenian Genocide and America's response.

Award-winning, critically acclaimed author Peter Balakian presents a riveting narrative of the massacres of the Armenians in the 1890s and of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. Using rarely seen archival documents and remarkable first-person accounts, Balakian presents the chilling history of how the Turkish government implemented the first modern genocide behind the cover of World War I. And in the telling, he resurrects an extraordinary lost chapter of American history.

Awarded the Raphael Lemkin Prize for the best scholarly book on genocide by the Institute for Genocide Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice/CUNY Graduate Center.

"Timely and welcome. . . an overwhelmingly convincing retort to genocide deniers." —New York Times Book Review

"A story of multiplying horror and betrayal. . . . What happened to the Armenians in Turkey was a harbinger of the Holocaust and of the waves of modern mass murder that have swept the world ever since." —Boston Globe

"Encourages America to tap into a forgotten well of knowledge about the genocide and to revive its powerful impulse toward humanitarianism." —New York Newsday

Industry Reviews
"In this important book, Balakian proves adept at presenting both human horror and political tragedy."
