Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The youth of Bedros Haroian prepared him for the life of a soldier. He grew up an orphan in a cold and half-destroyed house in a village of the Ottoman Empire at the dawn of the 20th century. He grew up in a despised and impoverished Christian community in the Ottoman Empire, which was the Caliphate and operating under Shari'a law. Those beginnings made Haroian a revolutionary. When W.W. I breaks out, Haroian will find himself serving in four armies. The Ottoman Army conscripts him, and he joins with zeal to gain martial skills, and he provides one of the only descriptions of a survivor of the defeat at the Battle of Sarikamish. He later escapes to join the Imperial Russian Army to help fight for the Armenians surviving the Genocide. He ends up serving in the British Army in Batum (a Black Sea port), At the end, Bedros Haroian joins the French Foreign Legion's auxiliary unit of Armenian Legionnaires to defend the Armenian survivors in Cilicia (bordering the Mediterranean Sea). History and horror--those two words describe Haroian's experience as a soldier. His memoirs provide on-the-ground details and insights into historical battles, ones that increase our understanding beyond the limits of official reports on these battles.--Publisher.
