| Summary: | Who was Monte Melkonian? In his native California he was once a kid in cut-off jeans, playing baseball and eating snow cones. Europe denounced him as an international terrorist. His adopted homeland of Armenia decorated him as a national hero who led a force of 4000 men to victory in the Armenian enclave of Mountain Karabagh in Azerbaijan. Why Armenia? Why adopt the cause of a remote corner of the Caucasus whose people had scattered throughout the world after the early twentieth-century Ottoman genocides? Markar Melkonian spent seven years unraveling the mystery of his brother's road: a journey which began in his ancestors' town in Turkey and led to a blood-splattered square in Tehran, the Kurdish mountains, the bomb-pocked streets of Beirut, and finally, to the Cold War and the unraveling of the Soviet Union--an attempt to understand what happens when one man decides that terrible actions speak louder than words.--From publisher description. |
