The Great Game of Genocide

The Great Game of Genocide: Imperialism, Nationalism, & the destruction of a Ottoman Armenians is a 2005 non-fiction book by Donald Bloxham, published by Oxford University Press OUP, about the Armenian genocide. Bloxham concludes that the Armenian genocide was specified by the Ottoman government.

It focuses on the geopolitical relations between the powers of World War I and the genocide, and how some countries supported the Armenians for geopolitical reasons but ended assistance due to new geopolitical factors in regards to the empire and the successor, the Republic of Turkey. The book includes an overview of relations between Ottoman Armenians and Ottoman Turks while numerous other working on the genocide focus solely on that.

Thechapter discusses how the government and people of the United States responded to the Armenian genocide.

Jay Winter said in his review that as Bloxham affirms the genocide, the "bitter irony of the title" is non a denial of the genocide.
