Crimes Against Humanity and Civilization: The Genocide of the Armenians combines the latest scholarship on the Armenian Genocide with an interdisciplinary approach to history, enabling students and teachers to make the essential connections between history and their own lives. By concentrating on the choices that individuals, groups, and nations made before, during, and after the genocide, readers have the opportunity to consider the dilemmas faced by the international community in the face of massive human rights violations. While focusing on the Armenian Genocide during World War I, the book considers the many legacies of the Armenian Genocide including Turkish denial and the struggle for the recognition of genocide as a "crime against humanity." The book can be integrated into courses dealing with multiple genocides, human rights, as well as history courses covering the late 19th century and World War I as well as U.S. international relations.

"Facing History has done with this book what it does best: bring history to life, gather moving portraits of suffering, indecision, and heroism, and force young and older readers alike to ask what we would have done if we had faced such wrenching moral dilemmas. The Armenian Genocide of 1915 set the stage for a gruesome twentieth century. Facing History's attention to genocide...can leave us with hope not only that the genocide will not be forgotten, but also that future generations will be better equipped to respond to the injustices that await them, at home and abroad." --Samantha Power, author of A Problem from Hell: American and the Age of Genocide
"This resource book is unique in its approaches to the legacy of the Armenian Genocide. It helps students and teachers to understand that the crime was committed not only against the Armenian people but also against all humanity. Critical issues relating to identity, attitude, behavior, choices, consequences, and contemporary concerns are addressed in this important work." --Richard Hovannisian, Holder, AEF Chair in Modern Armenian History, UCLA
"An essential and innovative exploration of the Armenian Genocide, [the book] brings together its historical, social, psychological, and ethical dimensions of the history and the aftermath of the Armenian Genocide. Facing History and Ourselves has done an extraordinary job and demonstrates once again that it is at the forefront of education in America." --Peter Balakian, author of The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response
