Summary: A CLASSIC MASTERPIECE!
Comment: FROM: The Aeolian Kid TO: All Amazon.com Readers DATE: 7-27-1999, 4:33 PM ITEM: Black Dog of Fate: A Memoir
Dear Reader,
Black Dog of Fate is a classic masterpiece!... If you are Armenian, or if you know any Armenian people and would like to understand their past better, or if you simply are interested in the history of the Middle East in general or genocide in particular, then you will learn a lot from this book.
Peter Balakian is a true Azad Adzvadzazeen!... "a free man of God" - and a poet of magnificent proportions. He writes like an artist, not a scholar! Nevertheless, he is a great scholar and researcher, otherwise he would never have been able to write this great book. This book reads like a novel. As soon as you begin to read it, you will not be able to put it down. Your eyes will be closing, and you'll say to yourself:"Just one more page; just one more chapter." ... It's that great! I read this book in three days, finding it to be one of the most captivating books I have ever read. It does for the Armenian people what ELENI (the book by Nicholas Gage) did for the Greek people. It helps the world to better understand their suffering at the hands of the Turks. Peter Balakian has done a great service to his ancestors and his people, both the living and the dead.

Summary: A CLASSIC MASTERPIECE
Comment: FROM: Black Dog Of Fate is a classic masterpiece! If you areArmenian, if you have Armenian relatives (as do I), or if you know anyArmenian people out there in the real world and you would like tounderstand their past better, then you will learn a lot from this book. Also, if you are interested in the history of the Middle East in general, or in the topic of genocide in particular, then you MUST read this book! You simply must.
... Peter Balakian is a true Azad Adzvadzazeen - "a free man of God" - and a poet of magnificent proportions. He writes like an artist, not a scholar. Nevertheless, he is a great scholar and researcher - as you will learn while reading the book - otherwise, he would NEVER have been able to uncover and discover all he did in the process of writing this great book. This book reads like a novel and a detective-story - not like a personal autobiography.
... As soon as you begin reading it, you will NOT be able to put it down. It is that good. Your eyes will be closing, and you will say to yourself: "Just one more page. Just one more chapter." The hours will fly by, and before you know it, you will have read the WHOLE book!
... I read this book in three days, finding it to be one of the most captivating books I have ever read. It does for the Armenian people what ELENI (the book on the Communist occupation of northern Greece, by Nicholas Gage) did for the Greek people. Only in this case, it is The Turks who are the perpetrators of uncivilized acts of human cruelty - something The Greeks understand with total empathy, after having had endured 500 years of subjugation under Ottoman rule themselves.
... Reading this book will help the whole world to better understand the unacceptable suffering the Armenian people were forced to experience at the hands of the Turkish government, military, released criminals, Kurdish-sympathizers, and ruthless renegades from the true spiritual values of the Godly wisdom of Islam.
... This book absolutely MUST be made into a major motion picture! As you read it, it will come alive in your mind as if it were a panoramic film, playing itself out before you in your mind's eye. The images it produces in your consciousness will linger for MONTHS - if not years. I see the scope of its visionary magnitude as being on the level of "Gandhi," by Richard Attenborough! It is truly a maginificent work of art.
... Peter Balakian has done a great service - not only to his ancestors and his people (both the living and the dead) - but to the whole world. The "Armenian Genocide" was the first genocide of modern history. As we all know, it was not the last. Reading this book will educate those who are now ignorant about the seriousness and total, utter gravity of the matter of human genocide, which - as we also know - is continuing till this very day in various parts of the globe.
... If this book does not help inspire the American people to create - once and for all - an "Armenian Genocide Memorial Day," then nothing will.
... - The Aeolian Kid END
