Oxford University Press Inc Thicker Than Oil
Book SynopsisFor fifty-five years, the United States and Saudi Arabia were solid partners. Then came the 9/11 attacks, which sorely tested that relationship. In Thicker than Oil, Rachel Bronson reveals why the partnership became so intimate and how the countries'' shared interests sowed the seeds of today''s most pressing problem-Islamic radicalism.Drawing on a wide range of archival material, declassified documents, and interviews with leading Saudi and American officials, and including many colourful stories of diplomatic adventures and misadventures, Bronson chronicles a history of close, and always controversial, contacts. She argues that contrary to popular belief the relationship was never simply about oil for security. Saudi Arabia''s geographic location and religiously motivated foreign policy figured prominently in American efforts to defeat godless communism. From Africa to Afghanistan, Egypt to Nicaragua, the two worked to beat back Soviet expansion. But decisions made for hard-headed CoTrade Review"Rachel Bronson's Thicker than Oil: America's Uneasy Partnership with Saudi Arabia takes on an important subject matter, the history of the U.S.--Daudi relationship, and makes an important contribution to the literature. Bronson's book is thoroughly researched, with extensive citations to diplomatic accounts, autobiographies, government documents, and intersting interviews woven into a storyboard text that is lieable and enjoyable to read."--Amy Myers Jaffe, International Journal of Middle East StudiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Prologue 1: Oil, God, and Real Estate 2: Dropping Anchors in the Middle East 3: An Islamic Pope 4: Shifting Sands 5: Double, Double, Oil and Trouble 6: "A New and Glorious Chapter" 7: Mobilizing Religion 8: Begin or Reagan 9: "We Support Some, They Support Some" 10: The Cold War Ends with a Bang 11: Parting Ways 12: September 11 and Beyond 13: Reconfiguring the U.S.-Saudi Strategic Partnership Notes Selected Bibliography Index

OUP USA Great Catastrophe
Book SynopsisDrawing on archival sources, reportage and moving personal stories, de Waal tells the full story of Armenian-Turkish relations since the Genocide in all its extraordinary twists and turns. He strips away the propaganda to look both at the realities of a terrible historical crime and also the divisive 'politics of genocide' it produced.Trade ReviewGreat Catastrophe is an excellent book, remarkable notably for its in-depth discussion of the wisdom of formal acknowledgements, by law or otherwise, of the genocide. De Waal, by and large, ends up against the legal recognition of genocide, which he believes does not serve either historical truth or reconciliation. At the same time, he is critical of the stubborn denial of the genocide by Turkish officialdom: that final part of the book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate on memory and its mutual acknowledgement in relations among countries. * - Gilles Andréani, Survival: Global Politics and Strategy *Thomas de Waal writes an excellent introduction to the subject, concentrating on how the post-genocide era has seen changes of attitude towards that tragedy. * Tablet *[An] admirably fair-minded new book... [Great Catastrophe] admirably demonstrates how contestations over a history of atrocity continue to shape - and distort - today's politics. * Irish Times, Lawrence Douglas *Measured and meticulous. * Financial Times, David Gardner *de Waal's biggest contribution is his overview of the interlocking phases of Turkish and Armenian history after 1915. Trenchant and colourful anecdotes abound, along with some surprising facts. * Economist *[Offers] painful reading, compelling for the general reader, cathartic for Armenian and Turk alike. * Spectator, Justin Marozzi *[An] excellent study. * Literary Review, Donald Rayfield *Sensitively judged - conversant in all the arguments, sympathetic to all perspectives, and full of interviews. It includes plenty of interest to both specialists and non-specialists. * Hurriyet Daily News, William Armstrong *De Waal is an engaging narrator * Caucasius Survey *De Waal brings a much needed perspective to highly contested subject matter, providing a vivid sense of inter-connectedness of the histories and experiences of Armenians, Turks, Kurds and other minorities inhabiting the Ottoman/Russian borderlands. * Patterns of Prejudice *What makes the book an invaluable contribution to the debate is his description of the long-term impact these traumatic events have had on Turks but especially on Armenians, and his effort to go beyond the question that has dominated the discussion for so long now: Should these events be labeled as genocide or not? * Today's Zaman, Joost Lagendijk *This magnificent book is the ideal introduction to a difficult subject. Historically rigorous but also full of compassion, it will educate the expert as well as the curious beginner. Highly recommended for Turks, Armenians, and everyone else. * Stephen Kinzer, author of Crescent and Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds *Finely researched and elegantly written, Tom de Waal's historical travelogue is an empathetic guide to how Armenians and Turks can ease the century of pain and conflict that succeeded the genocidal Ottoman destruction of the Armenian presence in Anatolia in 1915. * Hugh Pope, author of Turkey Unveiled: a History of Modern Turkey *Great Catastrophe is a frank, honest, humane effort to understand the events surrounding the Armenian Genocide and its aftermath. Thomas de Waal writes with empathy and respect for the various contending narratives while avoiding an equivocating 'balance' that dishonors the events and the victims themselves. Meticulously researched and scrupulously fair, it attempts to comprehend and recount for a broad audience the complexity and pain of the MedZ Yeghern in the hope that average Turks and Armenians might continue the process of recognition, repentance and reconciliation that will allow them both to heal and be redeemed. * Michael Lemmon, Former U.S. Ambassador to Armenia *Table of ContentsDEDICATION ; AUTHOR'S NOTE ; MAP 1: THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE IN 1914; MAP 2: TURKEY IN 2014 ; INTRODUCTION: REQUIEM IN DIYARBAKIR ; CHAPTER 1: THE CATASTROPHE ; CHAPTER 2: THE HISTORY ; CHAPTER 3: FROM VAN TO LAUSANNE ; CHAPTER 4: ASPECTS OF FORGETTING ; CHAPTER 5: POST-WAR POLITICS ; CHAPTER 6: AWAKENING ; CHAPTER 7: ASSAILING TURKEY ; CHAPTER 8: A TURKISH THAW ; CHAPTER 9: INDEPENDENT ARMENIA ; CHAPTER 10: THE PROTOCOLS ; CHAPTER 11: HIDDEN HISTORIES IN DIYARBAKIR ; CHAPTER 12: TWO MEMORIALS IN ISTANBUL ; ENDNOTES

Taylor & Francis Ltd Critical Approaches to Genocide
Book SynopsisThe study of genocide has been appropriate in emphasizing the centrality of the Holocaust; yet, other preceding episodes of mass violence are of great significance. Taking a transnational and transhistorical approach, this volume redresses and replaces the silencing of the Armenian Genocide.Scholarship relating to the history of denial, comparative approaches in the deportations and killings of Greeks and Armenians during the First World War, and womenâs histories during the genocide and post-genocide proliferated during the centennial of the Armenian Genocide in 2015. Collectively, however, these studies have not been enough to offer a comprehensive account of the historical record, documentation, and interpretation of events during 1915-1916. This study seeks to bridge the gap, by unsettling nationalist narratives and addressing areas such as aesthetics, gender, and sexuality. By bringing forward various dimensions of the human experience, including the political, socioeconomic, cultural, social, gendered, and legal contexts within which such silencing occurred, the essays address the methodological silences and processes of selectivity and exclusion in scholarship on the Armenian Genocide.The interdisciplinary approach makes Critical Approaches to Genocide a useful resource for all students and scholars interested in the Armenian Genocide and memory studies.Table of ContentsPart 1: New Methodologies and Directions in Armenian and Genocide Studies 1.
