Book Synopsis
Argues that the use of camps and detention facilities has been a ubiquitous practice in countless wars and genocides in order to achieve the wartime objectives of perpetrators. Although camps have been used for different strategic purposes, their essential functions are always the same: to inflict torture and lasting trauma on the victims.

Trade Review
“Hikmet Karcic has produced a vivid, moving, and sensitive account of Bosnian Serb camp system, shedding light on how the camps were not only instruments of death, but thoroughly genocidal instruments of social-psychological terror. Placing Bosnian Serb camps in their local historical and global context, Torture, Humiliate, Kill significantly advances our critical knowledge of the Bosnian Genocide.”- Douglas Irvin-Erickson, Assistant Professor and Director of the Raphaël Lemkin Genocide Prevention Program, the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution, George Mason University
