Book Review - A New Homeland: The Massacre of the Circassians, Their Exodus to the Ottoman Empire and Their Place in Modern Turkey by Fabio L. Grassi [Kitap İncelemesi -Yeni Bir Vatan: Çerkeslerin Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'na Zorunlu Göçü]
The Circassian genocide is certainly one of the least remembered genocides in world history. In all fairness, we should avoid the temptation of a genocide rivalry. Nor should we spend too much energy on body counts or formal recognitions by political entities. Premediated mass murder reckless deportations of populations based purely on their nationality, regardless of sex and age or military considerations, is a crime against humanity no matter how long ago it was committed and how many families it affected (p. 146).
