A. P. (Avetoon Pesak) Hacobian

A. P. Hacobian, or Avetoon Pesak Hacobian, is known today chiefly for Armenia and the War: An Armenian's Point of View with an Appeal to Britain (1917). The book was published during the First World War and presents Armenia’s situation for a broad English-language audience, blending political argument, history, and advocacy.

Available catalog records confirm his full name and indicate that he died in 1962. Beyond that, easily verifiable biographical details appear to be limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to describe him as an Armenian author and public commentator whose surviving reputation rests largely on this wartime work.

For modern listeners, Hacobian is interesting not only as an author but as a witness writing with urgency. His book offers a contemporary perspective on the Armenian question as it was being argued before British and international readers.
