Taner Akçam, a leading authority on the Armenian genocide, is unquestionably a very brave man: now based in the US, he is himself Turkish, and because of his pioneering work has long been a hated figure for the Turkish right. In 2012 he published a fine study of the Young Turks and the genocide, and he has since established Clark University as a center of serious research into it. His new book, Killing Orders: Talat Pasha’s Telegrams and the Armenian Genocide, is not an easy read, and not just because of the subject.
