The Hundred-Year Walk: An Armenian Odyssey

This memoir blends past, present, personal memoir and historical events to tell a heart-wrenching story.

A journalist uses her grandfather's journals to trace his steps during the Armenian Genocide of WWI. This book beautifully blends together her grandfather's personal account as a survivor of the genocide and the historical context of the surrounding war with the story of the author retracing his steps thru present day Turkey and Syria. The story is tough to read at times, but it shows a fascinating side of WWI that is not often discussed.
