About the author
C. F. Dixon-Johnson was Cuthbert Francis Dixon-Johnson (1871–1939). Library and book records identify him as the author of The Armenians and give his full name in connection with that 1916 publication.
Available historical references suggest he had a military background: one period source calls him Captain C. F. Dixon-Johnson, and a surviving artifact record describes him as educated at Sandhurst and commissioned into the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons. That background helps explain the direct, strategic tone of his writing on international affairs.
He appears to have written little that remains widely read today, but The Armenians has endured through digital archives and reprints. The book offers a compact early-20th-century British perspective on Armenian history and the politics of the Ottoman Empire, making his work of interest mainly as a historical document of its time.
