The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response

Peter Balakian's 2003 book examines the Armenian Genocide and the American response to it.

Published by HarperCollins in 2003, this English-language book addresses the Armenian Genocide and the response of American public opinion and government to those events. It provides broad background on the late Ottoman period and the wartime Eastern Anatolia–Caucasus region. The 1918 campaign of the Army of Islam in Azerbaijan is not its direct subject; its relevance to the collection is contextual and historiographical.
