Review # 1 was written on 2015-06-02 00:00:00 Chris Taylor When political assassins are caught and tried, they are almost always convicted. Soghomon Tehlina is the exception: This young Armenian is the only assassin ever to be found not guilty at his trial due to moral justification. Ironically, it is unlikely he would've been acquitted had the jury known the truth about two things: Tehlina had committed and gotten away with a previous assassination, and he was dispatched and funded on his mission by an Armenian organization located in Boston. His target was Talaat Pasha, a leader of the Young Turk government of the Ottoman Empire before and during WWI. This book provides a detailed look at Tehlina's life and his trial, as well as the historical context, particularly the deaths of several hundred thousand Armenians in Turkey. After his 1921 acquittal in a Berlin courtroom, Tehlina married and moved to California, where he lived the rest of his life.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-06 00:00:00 Dennis Remavich Good and relatively short overview of major historical events in Sri Lanka with emphasis on the recent past. Sometimes it's bit confusing as the book presumes reader's knowledge of certain names and dates without explainig tkem in the first place. Anyway the book gave me good and unbiased understanding which can be extended with further study.
