Are there any books available on the Armenian genocide as perpetrated by the Turks during The Great War?
It obviously needs to be in English but I'm especially interested in either the contemporary German or Armenian narrative, rather than a scholarly and objective account although I'll take that if it's all that going.
Thanks.

I found this one but I haven't read it so I don't know how good or readable it is. It sounds rather academic.

I've heard that one of the reasons Hitler thought he could get away with genocide against the Jews was that the Turks had done so and there hadn't been much of a fuss. The Turks deny there was any genocide and say it was just the fortunes of war.

Thanks for that JNO, there's a book on there that features interviews with survivors I think I'll get that.
Morgenthau's book looks interesting also, but what I was hoping for was an account by (or heavily featuring) the account by the Imperial German officer (whose name I forget) who witnessed it.
