This book is a must in the library of any one who is interested in the fate of peoples who are threatened of extinction. It's the result of an unprecedented effort of the many tours undertaken by Frederick Aprim in several countries where there's a presence for the Assyrian people. When I accompanied him in one of those trips, I saw an Assyrian person who was able to overcome the process of melting within the sea of Diaspora. He endeavored to employ the energy of his thoughts insisting steadfastly to obtain details and documents in every area we visited so that to accomplish a monumental task and not merely a set of texts but rather a scientific research analyzed in an intelligent method, whereby the author mentions many errors and comments personally on them in a very logic manner.

The author dealt with the truth about the identity, language, land, studied the Assyrian community and its continuous national existence highlighting the greatness of the Assyrian perseverance since the fall of the Assyrian Empire in a transparent yet well built manner.

The author also turned the undisputable references into proper supports for the Assyrian thought. Thus, this book was born to be a source which would refute the theories that lead the Assyrian people to being marginalized in their identity, equality with others, right of self determination, and the schemes which distorted the Assyrian people's civilized image which was present even before the birth of Christ.

While waiting for Frederick Aprim's next book that will deal with the persecution of the Assyrian Nation in modern history, we recommend reading "Assyrians: The Continuous Saga".

A very well written and informative book. The author has a strong point of view, but is not overly strong in presenting it.

Meticulously researched and full of detail. Very well presented and useful for novices and academics.

A must read for those interested in the history of the Middle East or anxious to understand current events. I give it the highest possible recommendation.
