Turkey and The Armenian Atrocities: A Reign of Terror

First published in 1896, Rev. Edwin Munsell Bliss’s Turkey and the Armenian Atrocities: A Reign of Terror stands as one of the most comprehensive and impassioned eyewitness accounts of persecution, faith, and survival in the late Ottoman Empire.

A missionary and scholar deeply familiar with the Near East, Bliss documents the massacres of Armenian Christians, the political corruption and religious tensions that fueled them, and the world’s stunned reaction to a tragedy that shook the conscience of a century. Drawing on personal correspondence, diplomatic records, and testimony from survivors, he presents not only the scope of the atrocities but the moral and spiritual endurance of those who suffered under them.

Part humanitarian report, part historical indictment, Turkey and the Armenian Atrocities remains a cornerstone work in the study of human rights, religious persecution, and Eastern political history. It speaks in the voice of moral witness—calling memory to account and refusing silence in the face of injustice.
