OPERATION NEMESIS The Assassination Plot That Avenged the Armenian Genocide

Author and actor ("Law and Order") Eric Bogosian reads his carefully compiled history of a group of Armenian survivors, members of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, who banded together to avenge the more than one million deaths of Armenians at the hands of the Turks in 1915. The group's goal was the assassination of six Turkish leaders in Berlin, Constantinople, Tiflis, and Rome. In a clear, steady voice, Bogosian recounts the complex relationship between the Armenians and the Ottoman Empire from its beginnings through the early twentieth century. Bogosian switches from Turkic, Arabic, Greek, and European languages without hesitation, moving the story forward to its terrible conclusion. More than a century after the Armenian massacre, Bogosian's detailed historical account of the assassination of the Turkish leaders teaches listeners about both the genocide and its aftermath.
