In the spring of 1921, in Berlin, an Armenian named Soghomon Tehlirian shot and killed Mehmed Talaat Pasha, the former Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire and one of the architects of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, which claimed the lives of over a million people. Unbeknownst to anyone at the time, the assassin was not acting alone. Behind him stood a secret organization whose mission was to exact vengeance on those responsible for the genocide. The organization was named "Nemesis," after the Greek goddess of retribution. Drawing on numerous historical sources, Eric Bogosian, an American playwright, director, and actor, and the descendant of a genocide survivor, dispassionately and meticulously recreates the story of this secret organization. The story begins hundreds of years before the shooting in Berlin, with the complex coexistence of the Ottoman Turks and Armenians in Asia Minor, and extends into the present day with its difficult political legacy.

Boghosyan's book is at once a gripping documentary thriller, a collection of testimonies about a horrific crime, and a meditation on the nature of violence, revenge, and memory.
