An Inconvenient Genocide: Who Now Remembers the Armenians?

This author needs no help from me but this is a beautifully written & compelling expose of a shocking crime. I was dimly aware of what had happened - of course I was, I bought the book. However, I was not prepared for such a detailed and unflinching indictment.

Legal research

Thorough and detailed view and analysis of the Armenian genocide, the politics surrounding it and the international law perspective. Mr Robertson has researched this intently and unearthed a considerable amount of material regarding the UK Governments approach and the reasons for avoiding the issue. It doesn't make comfortable reading. At times it is little disjointed and the arguments fragmented and at times it seems the argument for a particular point is clearly made but the book goes on and on almost losing the power of the argument by trying to make it watertight, but overall a good picture of the events and the arguments for not simply letting its memory fade.

Very informative book. Covers the legal aspect of genocide very thoroughly and effectively.

Well written and gives a good legal perspective of the subject.

Haven't had chance to read it yet, but the book arrived exactly as described! :-)

Not a bad book, some factual information but not particularly worthwhile if you are using it as a schorlaly source for a historical study of the genocide. Perfect for those trying to understand the ramifications of the Armenian genocide in the forming of genocide laws at Nuremberg.

Fantastic book. It was quite informative and well written. The Armenian genocide is a sad chapter in human history.

This is a very important book for anyone who is unclear about what legally constitutes a "genocide." He describes through a logical analysis of how the genocide of Armenians during the Ottoman rule has been denied for over 100 years by those who are fearful of the consequences of such admissions. It is especially important today with ethnic cleansing by Azeris of Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh.

Required reading. Finally a confirmation accredited by a legal mind and a scholar of history not carried away by negationists and falsifiers of history who serve purposes other than truth in reporting.

Geoffrey Robertson beschreibt die Ereignisse des armenischen Völkermords sehr genau und belegt seine Recherchen mit juristischen Argumenten. Ich empfehle dieses Buch all denen weiter, die die Wahrheit erfahren möchten.

Not an easy read, but very exact and thorough.. I heard a broadcaste in1950s of a British ex-naval officer who was ordered not to assist the dying refugees on the wharf begging for water and food. That order must be on the log books of the ships tied up in aSyrian port in 1915/16.so the British were also guilty of assisting genocide, even though they were at war with Turkey. Also another repeat of the 'Howler' about the war crimes trials after WWIi of the Jap Generals who ordered the death marches on the Philippines and SANDAKAN -not Samarkand, which is not on Borneo but in Uzbekistan. My father died on Sandakan so I am annoyed to find this howler in the 1st 2 books i received from Kindle - Kennealy's Flappers to Vietnam and Robertson's An Inconvenient Genocide

This book was excellent and I read it straight through. It is very informative regarding the Armenian Genocide and how International Law may apply to it today. The Turkish government has said repeatedly that the question of the Genocide should be left to historians, However Geoffrey Robertson states the obvious, the historians have long determined the fact of the Armenian Genocide, and that it is now a legal question. In his book, Mr. Robertson states that the Republic of Armenian can sue Turkey and Germany (Turkey's WWI Ally) for compensation from damages resulting from the Genocide. I highly recommend An Inconvenient Genocide: Who Now Remembers the Armenians? by Geoffrey Robertson Q.C.
