The Great Game of Genocide: Imperialism, Nationalism, and the Destruction of the 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 planned by the Ottoman government.[1]
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 support 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 many other works on the genocide focus solely on that.[2]
The final chapter discusses how the government and people of the United States responded to the Armenian genocide.[1]
