 A fascinating story June 18, 1999
26 out of 29 found this review helpful
For the increasing number of western travellers who visit the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (ancient Artsakh), this is the ideal introduction to the country's turbulent history and its fascinating present days. The rich and dramatic story of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh is traced from early medieval times through Soviet rule and the cultural flowering of the nineteenth century to the cruel years of the twentieth century, when Christian Karabakh fell under Muslim rule. The story is told in straightforward, non-academic style providing a general introduction to the modern history of Armenian Artsakh. The text tells the dramatic story from the days when Artsakh was the centre of a powerful Armenian mediaeval state to the cultural renaissance of the nineteenth century and the political upheavals of our own century. It vividly exposes the cruelty of 70 years of Azerbaijani "rule" in the region and suffering of Karabakh's Armenian population that in 1988 once again rose to fight for its freedom from Azerbaijani despotism.

The book is full of fake information, biased and incorrect facts. This book is a disgrace for the history.

The book is an example of rude misrepresentation of facts and biased propoganda.
On the contrary... November 4, 2006

Do you see any objective, scholarly, logical reviews by people who post their "review"s on the same days (May 20 and March 27, 28). Such ballot-stuffing does not provide any solid or even a weak basis for their cheap and preposterous cliches such as "fake", "lie" and other words, without making any references to where it is a fake. Probably for them the Republic of Armenia and Karabagh are fakes...
I really doubt that they have even read this book. On the contrary the author is extremely objective, but to the point ant writes very well. Too bad that Amazon does not screen unobjective and baselessly accusative "review"s and just posts them. I give the book five stars. It's a well read, and historically precise. The Karabagh war is just a little attempt by a small but couragous people to correct the arbitrarial and dictatorial horrors of Stalin and Communism in its early stages. Turks and Azeris who cry "foul!" cannot see this point from any perspective except from a pan-turanist and politically charged mouthfulls.
That's just a pity...
Big Lie March 27, 2002

This book is the collection of lies. The writer has no idea about what is going on in that region. It is his imagination. Too bad that these kind of books still are being published.
