American Dilemma."

A career Foreign Service officer, John Evans served as the U.S.

breaking ranks with the State Department’s official position,
Ambassador Evans publicly characterized the mass deaths of Armenians
between 1915 and 1923 as a "genocide." Following complaints by the
Turkish government, Evans was compelled to issue a "clarification."
Evans’ diplomatic career subsequently ended, prompting outrage on
Capitol Hill. He is now writing a book about the Armenian
controversy.
