Lethal Nationalism: Genocide of the Greeks 1913-1923

Nearly a million Greeks were killed, while millions more were uprooted from their ancestral homelands in Asia Minor (Turkey), Pontus, and Eastern Thrace as part of the Ottoman and Nationalist Turks' campaign of ethnic cleansing of its indigenous non Turkish populations. The Genocide annihilated the Greek, Armenian and Assyrian Christian populations. This tragic event, the first Genocide of the 20th century, has been kept silent for 100 years. This Genocide became the model for all Genocides to follow, less than 20 years later, the Holocaust was put in motion. Lethal Nationalism exposes the events of the past with current efforts by the government of Turkey to deny its nation's complicity in this genocide and to suppress those of its citizens who have the courage to testify to the contrary.
