A nail-bitingly suspenseful account of the conspiracy of assassins that hunted down Turkish officials following the Armenian Genocide.
In 1921, a small group of self-appointed patriots set out to avenge the deaths of almost one million victims of the Armenian Genocide. They named their operation Nemesis after the Greek goddess of retribution. Over several years, the men tracked down and assassinated former Turkish leaders. The story of this secret operation has never been fully told until now.
Eric Bogosian casts new light on one of the great crimes of the twentieth century, and one of history's most remarkable acts of political retribution. Drawing upon years of research across multiple continents, NEMESIS is both a white knuckle read and a profound examination of evil, revenge, and the costs of violence.
