The Great Betrayal: A Survey of the Near East Problem

By Edward Hale Bierstadt

Edward Hale Bierstadt was Executive Secretary of the Emergency Committee for Near East Refugees in 1923, one of the main groups that assisted the survivor-refugees of the massacres and expulsions. In this book (a reprint of the 1924 edition) Bierstadt chronicles aspects of the destruction and extermination of the Christian populations of Asia Minor, the Greeks, the Armenians and the Assyrians, first by the Union and Progress cabal under the Ottomans, and the by the forces of Kemal Ataturk.
