LOU URENECK at Books Inc. Palo Alto

Former Nieman fellow and editor-in-residence at Harvard University, and current professor of journalism at Boston University, Lou Ureneck discusses his harrowing and inspiring work, The Great Fire: One American's Mission to Rescue Victims of the 20th Century's First Genocide. Drawing extensively from survivors' stories, fresh primary sources, and years of research, Ureneck has painted an unforgettable portrait of the fire at Smyrna--the symbolic end of five hundred years of Ottoman rule and the final act in a ten-year religious slaughter.
