These massacres, he suggested, were best understood as part of the struggles that attended the end of the Ottoman Empire. Upon publication, the \u003ci\u003eReview\u003c\/i\u003e was besieged with letters asserting that this was not war but genocide. How had he gotten it so wrong? De Bellaigue set out for Turkey's troubled southeast to discover what really happened. What emerged is both an intellectual detective story and a reckoning with memory and identity. Rebel Land unravels the enigma of the Turkish twentieth century-a time that contains the death of an empire, the founding of a nation, and the near extinction of a people.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristopher de Bellaigue\u003c\/b\u003e has worked as a journalist in South Asia and the Middle East, writing for\u003ci\u003e The Economist, the Guardian, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e The New York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e.
