5.0 out of 5 stars This book should be required reading for every student., 15 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Forty Days of Musa Dagh (Paperback)
This book should be required reading for every student. Werfel writes an excellent in-depth novel about the genocide of the Armenians in World War I.

What is particularly chilling is that Werfel went on a lecture tour about the book in Germany just before Hitler's ascent to power. This did not prevent the German people from participating in the genocide of the Jews. Apparently, people learn nothing from history, even if forewarned.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Historical Novel One of A Kind!, 19 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Forty Days of Musa Dagh (Paperback)
A Historical Novel that was on the best seller charts for months. Read this book to educate yourself not to repeat HISTORY again. It's not a revisionist's best friend, but shows how the Armenians of Musa Dagh fought for their lives in order to avoid persecution by the hands of the Turks.

5.0 out of 5 stars The true and chilling tale of genocide., 12 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Forty Days of Musa Dagh (Paperback)
This book unveils the truth about the Ottoman Emipire's geoncide of the Armenians. The parallels between the treatment of the Armenians by the Ottomans and of the Jews, gypsies, and other "undesirables" by the Nazis is frightening. Despite the horror of the topic, the story is beautifully written and deeply moving. This book is similar in its treatment of a painful subject to the work of Leon Uris in such books as Armageddon and Mila 18. In an added irony, the author, Franz Werfel, a Jew, had to be saved from the Nazis.
