Excerpt from Mandatory Over Armenia: Report Made to Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, United States Army, Chief of the American Military Mission, on the Military Problem of a Mandatory Over Armenia From: Brig. Gen. George Van Horn Moseley. To: Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, Chief American Military Mission to Armenia. Subject: The military problem of a mandatory. When America was confronted with the problem of the recent war, every effort was made to keep us from being involved in it. For two years we kept on friendly terms with the nations which were at war, always with the hope that a settlement would be reached without our becoming involved. The efforts we made to keep out of the war went so far as to involve the criticism by first one power and then another. On the other hand, when we finally were confronted with a situation which made it our duty to enter the war, we did so on a very broad basis. Plans were made to cover every contingency. The home Government gave loyal support without regard to party lines, and a most carefully selected personnel was placed in charge of all our operations. To the professional soldier it was one of the most surprising features of the war to see our country, in which national defense was largely either neglected or based upon unsound legislation, entirely reverse itself and go to the limit in adopting sound principles for prosecuting the war. This, more than anything else, accounts for the national success we have. It is my opinion that we must approach the problems of the Near East in the same way. Half measures will certainly end in failure and show us up in a very unfavorable light as administrators before the world. So far we have had only a charitable connection with these problems. Repeatedly we have investigated the problems in the Near East, generally in connection with the sufferings of the Christian population. For years America has been very keenly alive to the sufferings of the Armenians. Singly, and in conjunction with the other powers, America has, at various times, addressed the Porte to institute reforms in the administration of Armenian affairs. America has also given large sums, through its missionary agents in Armenia, through its Red Cross work, and recently in the distribution of food and supplies for the destitute of all races in the Near East. It is certain, however, that little lasting good can be done on a charity basis to guarantee peace and good government in the Near East. The correcting of more than five centuries of misrule in Asia Minor is no small task. The responsibility can not he met by the giving of large sums through missionary societies, generally managed by noble characters with little practical business ability.

A New York Times bestseller, The Burning Tigris is “a vivid and comprehensive account” (Los Angeles Times) of the Armenian Genocide and America’s response. Award-winning, critically acclaimed author Peter Balakian presents a riveting narrative of the massacres of the Armenians in the 1890s and of the Armenian Genocide in 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Turks. Using rarely seen archival documents and remarkable first-person accounts, Balakian presents the chilling history of how the Turkish government implemented the first modern genocide behind the cover of World War I. And in the telling, he resurrects an extraordinary lost chapter of American history. Awarded the Raphael Lemkin Prize for the best scholarly book on genocide by the Institute for Genocide Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice/CUNY Graduate Center. “Timely and welcome. . . an overwhelmingly convincing retort to genocide deniers.” —New York Times Book Review “A story of multiplying horror and betrayal. . . . What happened to the Armenians in Turkey was a harbinger of the Holocaust and of the waves of modern mass murder that have swept the world ever since.” —Boston Globe “Encourages America to tap into a forgotten well of knowledge about the genocide and to revive its powerful impulse toward humanitarianism.” —New York Newsday
World War II was a watershed event for many of America's minorities, but its impact on Chinese Americans has been largely ignored. Utilizing extensive archival research as well as oral histories and letters from over one hundred informants, K. Scott Wong explores how Chinese Americans carved a newly respected and secure place for themselves in American society during the war years. Long the victims of racial prejudice and discriminatory immigration practices, Chinese Americans struggled to transform their image in the nation's eyes. As Americans racialized the Japanese enemy abroad and interned Japanese Americans at home, Chinese citizens sought to distinguish themselves by venturing beyond the confines of Chinatown to join the military and various defense industries in record numbers. Wong offers the first in-depth account of Chinese Americans in the American military, tracing the history of the 14th Air Service Group, a segregated unit comprising over 1,200 men, and examining how their war service contributed to their social mobility and the shaping of their ethnic identity. Americans First pays tribute to a generation of young men and women who, torn between loyalties to their parents' traditions and their growing identification with America and tormented by the pervasive racism of wartime America, served their country with patriotism and courage. Consciously developing their image as a "model minority," often at the expense of the Japanese and Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans created the pervasive image of Asian Americans that still resonates today.

How ordinary Americans, frustrated by the legal and political wrangling over the Second Amendment, can fight for reforms that will both respect gun owners’ rights and reduce gun violence. Efforts to reduce gun violence in the United States face formidable political and constitutional barriers. Legislation that would ban or broadly restrict firearms runs afoul of the Supreme Court’s current interpretation of the Second Amendment. And gun rights advocates have joined a politically savvy firearm industry in a powerful coalition that stymies reform. Ian Ayres and Fredrick Vars suggest a new way forward. We can decrease the number of gun deaths, they argue, by empowering individual citizens to choose common-sense gun reforms for themselves. Rather than ask politicians to impose one-size-fits-all rules, we can harness a libertarian approach—one that respects and expands individual freedom and personal choice—to combat the scourge of gun violence. Ayres and Vars identify ten policies that can be immediately adopted at the state level to reduce the number of gun-related deaths without affecting the rights of gun owners. For example, Donna’s Law, a voluntary program whereby individuals can choose to restrict their ability to purchase or possess firearms, can significantly decrease suicide rates. Amending Red Flag statutes, which allow judges to restrict access to guns when an individual has shown evidence of dangerousness, can give police flexible and effective tools to keep people safe. Encouraging the use of unlawful possession petitions can help communities remove guns from more than a million Americans who are legally disqualified from owning them. By embracing these and other new forms of decentralized gun control, the United States can move past partisan gridlock and save lives now.
