 The US Embassy and the Institute for War and Peace Reporting Armenia Branch held a discussion at the US Embassy on October 1 to mark the release of the Armenian translation of British journalist Thomas de Waal's book “Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War.”
The book presents a careful reconstruction of the history of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and its aftermath, based on six months traveling through the South Caucasus, more than 120 original interviews, and unique archives.
The widely-read book was first published in English in 2004. A Russian translation of the book came out in November 2006 and discussions were held in Yerevan, Tbilisi and Baku.
Thomas de Waal is editor of the Caucasus Reporting Service of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting. He is also known as co-author of A Small Victorious War, a book on the conflict in Chechnya. De Waal completed a degree in Russian and Modern Greek at Oxford, has worked for the BBC, The Moscow Times and The Times in London and Moscow.
