"A highly valuable model of the use of biography in the service of history and the social sciences. Kieser's careful reading of the Armenian Genocide offers precious keys to understanding the process of the Islamization and Turkification of the late Ottoman Empire."--Hamit Bozarslan, author of Violence in the Middle East: From Political Struggle to Self-Sacrifice
"This long-awaited biography is very timely and masterfully executed. Kieser reinstates Talaat Pasha as a major statesman of twentieth-century European and world history."--Stefan Ihrig, author of Justifying Genocide: Germany and the Armenians from Bismarck to Hitler
