Incorporating recent work he gives a highly-intelligent view of genocide, broadly defined as in Raphael Lemkin?s original coining of the term. If you want to read a general work on genocide and ethnic cleansing, this should be your first choice.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMichael Mann, University of California, Los Angeles\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first edition of What is Genocide? rightly became an instant classic.
