Book Reviews of The Forty Days of Musa Dagh

Book Review: An incredibly inspiring novel, based on history
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the story of the Armenians in eastern Turkey. The Armenians were Christian and the Turks Muslim. At a point just prior to WW I, the Turks commenced a genocide of the Armenians and this is the story about how one harrassed Armenian group banded together and defended a mountaintop, in a Turkish seige, until they were rescued.

I have to say that this is one of the most inspiring stories that I have ever had the pleasure to digest.

This one should be on the shelf in any serious library!
