Mavi Kitap'ı oluşturan belgeleri toplamak ve karşılaştırmalarını yapmak aylarımı aldı. Yayımlandıktan sonra da kitapta anlatılanlar uzun süre aklımdan çıkmadı. Hiç durmaksızın düşüncelerimi meşgul eden yalnızca kurbanların çektiği acılar ve canilerin işlediği suçlar değil, aynı zamanda insanların, bu soykırım faillerinin yaptıklarını nasıl yapabildiği sorusuydu. [Ermeni Soykırımı] üzerinde yaptığım çalısma ... Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nda Nazilerin çok daha geniş çapta ve çok daha büyük bir soğukkanlılıkla işlediği soykırım suçunun bile silemediği izler bıraktı belleğimde.Özel ya da kamusal alanda olsun, kişisel ya da kişisel olmayan nitelikte olsun, işlenmiş her büyük suç, milliyetle sınırlandırılamayacak bir sorunu ortaya koyar. Bu, bizi insan doğasının derinliklerine götüren bir sorundur. 1915 yılında Türkiye'de yapılan soykırım bana 'Ilk Günah' gerçeğini yeniden hatırlattı -Arnold Toynbee, Acquaintances (Oxford, 1967)

"Lawrence of Arabia" was one of the most famous figures to emerge from World War I. His Venezuelan contemporary, Rafael De Nogales, remains almost completely unknown outside of his native country. One fought with the Arabs against the Turks; the other fought with the Turks against Arabs, Armenians, Australians, British and Russian forces. Comparing and contrasting the careers of the two men helps clarify differences and similarities in historical narrative and analysis of a formative period of world affairs.

Armenians in Turkey have faced decades of officially-sanctioned discrimination and forced assimilation as Muslims. Only recently has there been efforts to oppose such a traumatic process, with the emergence of a new category of "hidden" and "not hidden" Armenians in Turkey. This process has been in parallel with Turkey's democraticisation, especially between 2005 and 2015. This book gives a vivid account of the fate of such Armenians.
