Product Description
There is a great deal of interest in the history of Armenia since its renewed independence in the 1990s and the ongoing debate about the genocide--an interest that informs the strong desire of a new generation of Armenian Americans to learn more about their heritage and has led to greater solidarity in the community. By integrating themes such as war, geopolitics, and great leaders with the less familiar cultural themes and personal stories, this book will appeal to general readers and travellers interested in the region.

Excellent Concise Armenian History December 12, 2008
Murad Meneshian
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Simon Payaslian's The History of Armenia is an excellent concise history of Armenia from the most ancient to the present Republic of Armenia. Payaslian reveals some historical items and events, which are not commonly found in Armenian history books. Payslian's language is precise and lucid. The History of Armenia is certainly a valuable addition to other Armenian history books.
Wonderful book January 2, 2009
Vahe Arakelian (Yerevan :Erevan", Armenia)
A comprehensive history of Armenia, the cradle of civilization from the early days to the last meaningful event.
A wonderful book bringing new historical data and accounts never studied before.
This book is not about the Genocide of the Armenians, nor about the hideous atrocities of the Turks.
It is rather a happy and enlightening book about the most important events and accomplishments of a great nation and its influence on social and cultural milieus throughout the ages.
Filled with lessons from history, ethnic identity struggles, witnessing remarkable achievements and the high spirit of the Armenian people.
