One strength of his presentation comes from his reliance on early documents. which consisted largely of eyewitness accounts from neutral observers. consular representatives. missionaries. Red Cross nurses. and survivors. These early documents convey some of the horror of the orgy of cruelty by relating the events with an emotional involvement and an immediacy drained from later academic writings. Mr. Kuper describes the devastating catastrophe step by brutal step. First. the disarming of the population and the culling of Armenian leaders. Then. the summary arrests and massive deportations. The next stage was the journey to the final destination in the Syrian deserta Journey which subjected the exiles to violent atrocities and torture. The final result was the extermination of over 800.000 Armeniansgenocide.
