OPERATION NEMESIS
The Assassination Plot that Avenged the Armenian Genocide
This is a nail-bitingly suspenseful account of the conspiracy of assassins that hunted down Turkish officials following the Armenian Genocide.
In 1921, a small group of self-appointed patriots set out to avenge the deaths of almost one million victims of the Armenian Genocide. They named their operation Nemesis after the Greek goddess of retribution. Over several years, the men tracked down and assassinated former Turkish leaders. The story of this secret operation has never been fully told until now.
Eric goes beyond simply telling the story of this cadre of Armenian assassins to set the killings in context by providing a summation of the Ottoman and Armenian history as well as the history of the genocide itself. The book casts fresh light on one of the great crimes of the twentieth century and one of history's most remarkable acts of political retribution. He has drawn upon years of new research across multiple continents, and OPERATION NEMESIS is both a riveting read and a profound examination of evil, revenge, and the costs of violence.
The author, Eric Bogosian, is an actor, playwright, and novelist of Armenian descent. He was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his play Talk Radio, and is the recipient of Berlin Film Festival's Silver Bear Award, several Obie Awards, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. He is also the author of three novels published in the States by Simon & Schuster.
