I had no lessons in this throughout K12 and college. Would like recommendations for books to understand what happened and how. |

If you have JSTOR access through work/library/alumni, this article will get you the “why/how” https://www.jstor.org/stable/3600788 He has a full-length, more academic work incorporating that essay called “The Great Game of Genocide.” (Bloxham) Another more popular book on the subject is “Burning Tigris” (have not read but is more available popular vs academic). Amb. Henry Morgenthau (our ambassador) wrote a contemporary memoir about it and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Valuable book, too. He worked to stop it, NYT covered it heavily as did other major international papers at the time. I took a comprehensive class on genocide in college; a real downer I assure you. |

All I know about the Armenian genocide is that they envy the Jews because their genocide was bigger.

Thanks, ordered a copy of Burning Tigris |
| Dig into and you will see some brutal genocide. Slavery , rape , and wiping out whole villages and leaving them where they fell. There are number of stories of people travelling to some of those villages and still seeing skeletons laying where they fell years and years before. |
