Product Description
Armenia is a country straddling one of the great cultural divides of the world-a Christian country in the nearly surroundedby Muslim neighbors. This Dictionary paints a compelling portrait of Armenia and its people. While other works on Armenian history require multiple volumes, this resource captures a vast amount of history in just one. By broadly covering the early history and focusing on more recent events, the author provides readers a way to unravel many of the complexities that arise in the study of this intricate country and its, sometimes confusing, history.
The entries are related in topical cycles covering the whole span of Armenian history including:
o Cities
o Royal dynasties
o Political organizations
o National leaders
The most useful section is the fully detailed chronology, which gives readers a roadmap to the countless twists and turns that fill the pages of history.
