Genocide in Comparative Perspective looks at a range of genocide case studies in order to provide students with comprehensive global coverage of the topic, including: - The Holocaust- Cambodia- Armenia- Indonesia- The Americas- Liberia- Sierra Leone- Central Africa- Stalinist Russia- Maoist China This book is the essential introduction to the history of genocide in one succinct, readable volume.
