About the Author
Yücel Güçlü has written the most comprehensive account of the Adana events yet published, having burrowed into Ottoman, Turkish, French, British and U.S. archives, supplementing the documents with an extensive range of other primary and secondary source material. He has clearly done his best to present the widest range of views possible, from which the reader will quickly understand that what happened in Adana in 1909 does not lend itself to the one-sided accusatory “explanations” that have been frequently dished up for propaganda purposes in the telling of this tragedy.
