We invite you to meet Politico foreign policy reporter Gabriel Gavin, on the occasion of the publication of his most recent book, Ashes of Our Fathers: Inside the Fall of Nagorno-Karabakh. It is the first major book to be published on the region since the 2020 war.
Through the eyes of ordinary Armenians and Azerbaijanis, it charts how a decades-long conflict exploded into one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of our time. Based on years of unique access and on-the-ground reporting from both sides of the front line, Gabriel Gavin charts how Nagorno-Karabakh went from an ancient home shared by both peoples to a battle-scarred land of empty houses and untended graves — as the world watched on.
His presentation will be moderated by the Armenian Institute’s Chair Tatiana Der Avedissian and will be followed by a drinks reception. Copies of the book will be available to purchase afterwards with a 25% discount, and Gabriel Gavin will be available to sign your copy.
This event is held in collaboration with Hurst Publishers.
