One of the most striking features of the WWI Armenian genocide, perpetrated by Ottoman Turkey, is the fact that it was enacted despite the powerful presence of Imperial Germany in Turkey. German power was afforded not only because of its imposing military might but, also, by the fact that Turkey, a weak & impoverished ally, depended critically on German assistance to underprop its war effort. In this path-breaking work of historical recovery, Dadrian examines the complex conditions of Turko-German political-military alliance analyzing the developments within the framework of which Germany's direct & indirect involvement in the macabre drama of the Armenia genocide is seen materializing. "For the first time, a prominent scholar is tackling the problem (of German) complicity in the genocide against the Armenians...while German culpability in the genocide of the Jews in WWII is subject to extensive studies...the issue of German responsibility in the genocide against the Armenians during WWI has remained largely untouched...Dadrian, the worldwide authority on the subject, opens up a new territory..."--Wolfgang Gust, Former Senior Editor of Der Spiegel.
