These massacres, he suggested, were best understood as part of the struggles that attended the end of the Ottoman Empire. Upon publication, the \u003ci\u003eReview\u003c\/i\u003e was besieged with letters asserting that this was not war but genocide. How had he gotten it so wrong? De Bellaigue set out for Turkey's troubled southeast to discover what really happened. What emerged is both an intellectual detective story and a reckoning with memory and identity. Rebel Land unravels the enigma of the Turkish twentieth century-a time that contains the death of an empire, the founding of a nation, and the near extinction of a people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143118848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.59w x 0.62d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/10\/2011 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Christopher de Bellaigue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45439053627573,"sku":"9780143118848","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7a6400b2-5a91-452e-b590-eaf75af56881.jpg?v=1749003244","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/rebel-land-unraveling-the-riddle-of-history-in-a-turkish-town-9780143118848","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
