The writer describes the immense tragedies inflicted on Assyrians throughout the Christian Era, as persecution, oppression, and massacres took place, starting the Mesopotamian times. The greatest catastrophe to visit the Assyrians in the modern period was the genocide committed against them, as Christians, during the Great War. From the Assyrian renaissance experienced when, miraculously, they became the objects of Western Christian missionary educational and medical efforts, the Assyrians fell into near oblivion. The books claims that there was an ethnic genocide against the Assyrians by the Turkish regime with the collaboration Kurdish warlords, while half of the world’s last Aramaic-speaking population has arrived in unwanted Diaspora.
