5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating story, June 18, 1999
By A Customer
For the increasing number of western travellers who visit the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (ancient Artsakh), this is the ideal introduction to the country's turbulent history and its fascinating present days. The rich and dramatic story of the Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh is traced from early medieval times through Soviet rule and the cultural flowering of the nineteenth century to the cruel years of the twentieth century, when Christian Karabakh fell under Muslim rule. The story is told in straightforward, non-academic style providing a general introduction to the modern history of Armenian Artsakh. The text tells the dramatic story from the days when Artsakh was the centre of a powerful Armenian mediaeval state to the cultural renaissance of the nineteenth century and the political upheavals of our own century. It vividly exposes the cruelty of 70 years of Azerbaijani "rule" in the region and suffering of Karabakh's Armenian population that in 1988 once again rose to fight for its freedom from Azerbaijani despotism.

5.0 out of 5 stars On the contrary..., November 4, 2006
By 
Ignotus (Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Armenia and Karabagh: The Struggle for Unity (Minority Rights Publications) (Paperback)
Do you see any objective, scholarly, logical reviews by people who post their "review"s on the same days (May 20 and March 27, 28). Such ballot-stuffing does not provide any solid or even a weak basis for their cheap and preposterous cliches such as "fake", "lie" and other words, without making any references to where it is a fake. Probably for them the Republic of Armenia and Karabagh are fakes...

I really doubt that they have even read this book. On the contrary the author is extremely objective, but to the point ant writes very well. Too bad that Amazon does not screen unobjective and baselessly accusative "review"s and just posts them. I give the book five stars. It's a well read, and historically precise. The Karabagh war is just a little attempt by a small but couragous people to correct the arbitrarial and dictatorial horrors of Stalin and Communism in its early stages. Turks and Azeris who cry "foul!" cannot see this point from any perspective except from a pan-turanist and politically charged mouthfulls.

That's just a pity...

1.0 out of 5 stars Biased, June 30, 2009
By 
Candan Azer (Mokotow, Warsaw Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Armenia and Karabagh: The Struggle for Unity (Minority Rights Publications) (Paperback)
This book by Walker is another biased product. Historical facts deny Walker's allegations, current facts reveal without doubt Armenian urge for more territory. Howver, it is a fact that the Armenians have won the war. The question is whether they will be able the same determination to win peace. It is highly questionable.
Don't read this book. Your time is precious.
