ERIC BOGOSIAN BOOK TRACKS GENOCIDE REPRISAL
15:02, 16 Jan 2015
Woburn-raised actor-writer Eric Bogosian spoke briefly Tuesday at
Holy Trinity Church in Cambridge about his book "Operation Nemesis,"
an account of the plot to kill the leaders of the Ottoman Turk Empire
responsible for the Armenian Genocide begun in 1915, the Boston
Globe reports.
Bogosian, whose parents are Armenian, has a lengthy resume that
includes the play (and subsequent film) "Talk Radio," three novels,
and a leading role on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent."
"Operation Nemesis," his first work of nonfiction, will be published
in April, the 100th anniversary of the genocide in which more than 1
million Armenians died and countless more were deported from eastern
Turkey.
Bogosian's book tracks the efforts of a small band of Armenians to
track down and assassinate several of the leaders of the Ottoman
Empire, including Interior Minister Talaat Pasha, who escaped Turkey
after the fall of the regime in 1918.
Turkish-born Taner Akcam, a professor at Clark University and a
leading authority on the Armenian Genocide, also spoke Tuesday,
focusing on the rescue of Armenian women and orphans by the League
of Nations in the years following the genocide.
