His "Lives of the Caesars" and "Lives of Illustrious Men" are invaluable and fascinating sources of information. Seasoned with entertaining anecdotes and bits of scandalous gossip relating to the lives of the first 12 emperors, Suetonius' biographies offer a colorful picture of Roman imperial politics and society. His account of Nero's death is justly famous.RomeHistoryFlavians, 69-96937.07Suetonius452089NjHacINjHaclBOOK996199062703316Lives of the Caesars3576478UNISA04049nam 2200745Ia 450 991081833320332120200520144314.01-107-14787-51-280-43768-50-511-16531-50-511-16575-70-511-16382-70-511-31273-30-511-49760-10-511-16462-9(CKB)1000000000353295(EBL)255197(OCoLC)123906037(SSID)ssj0000101849(PQKBManifestationID)11108553(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000101849(PQKBWorkID)10043761(PQKB)10169769(UkCbUP)CR9780511497605(MiAaPQ)EBC255197(Au-PeEL)EBL255197(CaPaEBR)ebr10120481(CaONFJC)MIL43768(OCoLC)80244663(EXLCZ)99100000000035329520030312d2003 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAmerica and the Armenian genocide of 1915 /edited by Jay Winter1st ed.New York Cambridge University Press20031 online resource (xii, 317 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Studies in the social and cultural history of modern warfareTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).0-521-07123-2 0-521-82958-5 Includes bibliographical references.Twentieth-century genocides /Sir Martin Gilbert --Under cover of war /Jay Winter --Armenian genocide /Vahakn N.

Leonard.Before Rwanda and Bosnia, and before the Holocaust, the first genocide of the twentieth century happened in Turkish Armenia in 1915, when approximately one million people were killed. This volume is an account of the American response to this atrocity. The first part sets up the framework for understanding the genocide: Sir Martin Gilbert, Vahakn Dadrian and Jay Winter provide an analytical setting for nine scholarly essays examining how Americans learned of this catastrophe and how they tried to help its victims. Knowledge and compassion, though, were not enough to stop the killings. A terrible precedent was born in 1915, one which has come to haunt the United States and other Western countries throughout the twentieth century and beyond. To read the essays in this volume is chastening: the dilemmas Americans faced when confronting evil on an unprecedented scale are not very different from the dilemmas we face today.Studies in the social and cultural history of modern warfare.Armenian massacres, 1915-1923Foreign public opinion, AmericanGenocideTurkeyForeign public opinion, AmericanArmeniansTurkeyHistoryWorld War, 1914-1918Armenian massacres, 1915-1923Foreign public opinion, American.GenocideForeign public opinion, American.ArmeniansHistory.World War, 1914-1918.956.6/2015Winter J.
