An American diplomat's life changes course after working with Armenian counterparts and discovering the interwoven social, political, and emotional tolls his work will bring.
If John Abernathy knows one thing, it's that he has no concept of how deeply his life will become entangled within the geopolitical landscape, culture, and people of Armenia.
As an American diplomat in the early 1900s, John works to help the plight of the Armenian people, whose lives remain fractured between the rules of the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire. His life becomes deeply entangled with the people he works to protect from authoritarian rule and ethnic persecution.
John's life becomes a stage for political turmoil, personal sacrifice, and moral dilemmas; each choice he makes seems to reshape his destiny. Through his fiancee, Anahit Sargsyan, and then his wife, Elisabeth Dodge, John experiences first-hand the tragic events of the era-from the Gilded Age to the 1960s.
The Angel Warrior of Armenia offers an intimate lens into the resilience of the Armenian people when the stark reality was a world that failed to intervene. Using evocative narration and creative writing, author Frank "Bud" O'Leary crafts a deeply human story of sacrifice, duty, and expectations, grounded in rigorous research. The historically congruent cast places readers in their shoes, if only for a chapter, to immerse them in a story unlike any other.
With echoes of the past resonating in modern geopolitics, The Angel Warrior of Armenia reminds us that history's lessons must not go unheeded.
