A Concise History of the Armenian People. Second edition

This up-to-date volume examines the history of the Armenian people in relation to world history. The second edition adds much new data on the Armenian Diaspora and covers events in Armenia up to 2003. This well illustrated book, with ample maps, focuses on political and socio-economic history, while glossing over the arts and literature. Its main purpose is to familiarize Armenians and non-Armenians with a people and culture that is absent from most history courses and texts. This book is highly recommended for teachers of global civilizations, as well as those specializing in the history of Russia, Ottoman Empire, Iran and the Caucasus.
