Trade Review
The 13 original essays in this collection constitute a valuable addition to the large and still-growing literature on genocide. . . . Standard concept of genocide are reexamined and comparisons are drawn with related phenomena of mass destruction, such as 'total war.' . . . Most provocative and important of all, new theoretical perspectives and schemes of interpretation are presented. . . . The collection is enhanced by an excellent introduction and afterword. It is supplemented by a very useful selective annotated bibliography of the more important works on the problem of genocide, and an excellent index. Highly recommended. A useful contribution to the field, with some outstanding articles and stimulating suggestions for the comparative study of genocide.
