<p><b>The definitive study of a nearly forgotten genocide, reissued with a new foreword.</b></p><p>During the summer of 1916, approximately 270,000 Central Asians¿Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Tajiks, Turkmen, and Uzbeks¿perished at the hands of the Russian army in a revolt that began with resistance to the Tsar¿s World War I draft. In addition to those killed outright, tens of thousands of men, women, and children died while trying to escape over treacherous mountain passes into China. Experts calculate that the Kyrgyz, who suffered most heavily, lost 40% of their total population. </p><p>This horrific incident was nearly lost to history. During the Soviet era, the massacre of 1916 became a taboo subject, hidden in sealed archives and banished from history books. Edward Dennis Sokol¿s pioneering <i>Revolt of 1916 in Russian Central Asia</i>, published in 1954 and reissued now for the first time in decades, was for generations the only scholarly study of the massacre in any language.
