The author compiles contemporary reports and eyewitness testimony to document the systematic deportation and massacre of the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire, arguing that these actions were carried out under state direction rather than as isolated incidents. He disputes claims that the victims constituted a security threat, highlights the social and economic role of the Armenian community, and assesses responsibilities among domestic and foreign authorities, including German political influence. The book moves from factual reconstruction to analysis of motives and consequences, concluding with an appeal to humanitarian responsibility and a list of cited sources.
