Reviews for Let Them Not Return: Sayfo a The Genocide Against the Assyrian, Syriac, and Chaldean Christians in the Ottoman Empire
With a list of top-notch contributors, this is an excellent addition to what little is currently available on this under-researched genocide. The organization of the contributions and the volume's breadth of scope are particularly impressive.
