A. P. (Avetoon Pesak) Hacobian

A. P. Hacobian, also listed as Avetoon Pesak Hacobian, is known for Armenia and the War, published in 1917. Library and public-domain records consistently connect him with that book, and catalog entries identify him as having died in 1962.

The book presents an Armenian perspective on the crisis facing Armenians during World War I and was issued with a preface by Viscount Bryce. A period source introducing the work describes him as an Armenian gentleman from a family originally from Ispahan in Persia, later settled in England, which helps explain the book's mix of personal feeling and appeal to British readers.

Little widely available biographical detail appears to survive beyond these records, but Hacobian's reputation rests on the force of this single major work: a passionate, historically important plea for attention, justice, and national survival.
