Bostonist: Authorial Intent

Ben Kiernan, Friday, September 28, 3:00 pm, Harvard Book Store

Given the recent firestorm about the Anti-Defamation League’s presence
in Watertown and the ADL’s refusal to push for legislation declaring
the Armenian Genocide a genocide, Kiernan’s Blood and Soil: A World
History of Genocide and Extermination from Sparta to Darfur should be
a must-read. And, yes, Kiernan studies the Armenian Genocide–as well
as many others–to try to find ways to recognize potential genocides
and stop them as soon as possible.
