Assyrians in Western Media, the New York Times: 1851 - 1922

This book is a collection of important and rare articles from the world-renowned newspaper, The New York Times, reproduced for the first time as a book. The articles selected for this book range from the period 1851 to 1922, a time of intrigue, upheaval and uncertainty for the Assyrian people. This period, spanning close to a century of Assyrian history, marks one of the most critical and paradoxically one of the least studied areas in modern Assyrian history, covering a number of landmarks: the first western contact with the Assyrians; the trials and tribulations of World War I; forced migration from ancient lands; and the search for a future homeland. All of these issues are aptly covered in this timely book.
