Negative Positive
Title: Very Insightful
Review: Well researched book, full of facts you cannot find anywhere else about the attitude of the Jewish community in Ottoman Palestine during World War One regarding the Armenian Genocide, and the Zionist-Armenian cooperation in London and Paris. Also presents the legacy of the Armenian Genocide and the danger of such a tragedy befalling the Jews (ironically the Zionists worried about the Yishuv during World War One whereas the Holocaust occured to the Diaspora during World War Two); the influence of that very fear on the Nili Group of Pro-British Ottoman Jewish spies; the significance of Franz Werfel's Forty Days of Musa Dagh during the ghetto uprisings and the Armenian Genocide in the literature of the time as well as direct eyewitness details of the Genocide. An excellent read, cites many nearly obscure primary sources from the World War One Period. Useful for Jewish-Israeli Studies, British policy during World War One as well as Armenian History.
