Wayne State University Press and the United States Holocaust
Memorial Museum have done students of the Holocaust and of modern
Eastern-Central Europe a great service by releasing a condensed
edition of Randolph Braham's classic study...The Politics of
Genocide will remain the exhaustive and comprehensive point of
reference for all future investigation into the history of the
Holocaust in Hungary. Readers interested in an introduction to the
many issues involved can do no better than to begin with this
revised edition." – Paul Hanebrink, Rutgers University
"This is a book that should be read and understood by the widest
possible readership Clearly, it belongs on the shelves of serious
Holocaust scholars and should also find an important niche in
college level courses on the Holocaust and/or Jewish History . . .
magnificent work." – Dr. Abraham J. Edelheit, assistant professor
of History at Kingsborough Community College of the City University
of New York.
"Professor Braham's The Politics of Genocide, is the most
comprehensive and meticulously researched book in the literature of
the Holocaust in general and Hungary in particular. . . . the
standard and unsurpassed account of the destruction of Hungarian
Jewry." – Bernard Klein, Kingsborough Community College, City
University of New York
"[T]his book will bring the history of the Holocaust in Hungary to
a wide range of readers: scholars, teachers, undergraduates and
graduate students. It is an abridgment of a monumental work and the
remainder presents itself as a simply smaller monument." —
Sidney Bolkosky, University of Michigan-Dearborn
"The earlier majestic editions of The Politics of Genocide provided
the English-speaking public with vivid and accurate information on
European Jewry's ultimate tragedy, the Holocaust in Hungary, which
took place lass than a year before the end of World War II. The
book's Hungarian version caused a nation-wide re-thinking of the
role Hungarians had played in that event. This abbreviated version
should be read by students, scholars, and all those concerned with
genocide at any time and in any country." – Istvan Deak, Columbia
University
