Operation Nemesis

The Assassination Plot That Avenged the Armenian Genocide

De: Eric Bogosian

Narrado por: Eric Bogosian

A masterful account of the conspiracy of assassins that hunted down the perpetrators of a genocide.

In 1921 a small group of self-appointed patriots set out to avenge the deaths of almost one million victims of the Armenian Genocide. They named their operation Nemesis after the Greek goddess of retribution. Over several years the men tracked down and assassinated former Turkish leaders. The story of this secret operation has never been fully told until now.

Eric Bogosian goes beyond simply telling the story of this cadre of Armenian assassins to set the killings in context by providing a summation of Ottoman and Armenian history as well as the history of the genocide itself. Casting fresh light on one of the great crimes of the 20th century and one of history's most remarkable acts of political retribution, and drawing upon years of new research across multiple continents, Nemesis is both a riveting listen and a profound examination of evil, revenge, and the costs of violence.

Fabulous story, narrated by the author…

Eric Bogosian has written the most detailed account of the Armenian Genocide and I cannot think of a better voice for narration than the author himself.

Well written gem

Fantastic storytelling. Captivating. Will open your eyes to a story the world needs to know. One of my favorite books of the year.

great book

this book is eye opening.
the subject material is tough to listen to because of the tragic nature but it's important to learn about these events.

This book is a must read for virtually everyone.

An important history that must be shared. The world has many injustices, this is one that many people had to right.

A must hear for any Armenian

Brilliant account, well researched and thorough. Every Armenian must hear this story. The whole world must hear it.

Operation SUCCESS

Where does Operation Nemesis rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I heard the author speak about this book back in 2015, and have purchased numerous copies for gifts, especially that year, the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Finally started listening to it and so glad I did. much more than what I expected...and so easy to listen to.

Took matters into their own hands

Very well researched on the topic. Different personalities and people from all walks of life came together to avenge the death of millions of innocent Armenians. It was interesting to learn about these men and women.

Passion

Slog through the history and feel what revenge felt like through the mind of the most brutalized victims

Incredible Story by Eric

Eric did a great job on research and putting in a book. I hope it becomes mini series , there is too much good information for a movie.

The Genocide no one talks about

Well written and narrated. The book clearly showed the evil of the world when geopolitical interests are at play and human lives are irrelevant.
