Summing Up: Highly recommended.
*Choice*
This work is highly recommended for libraries serving high school
students, undergraduates, and the general public.

Although many well-known personalities are covered, the inclusion
of those who tried to prevent genocide provides readers with an
added (and welcomed) dimension to genocide studies and is an
admirable feature of this book. The thematic contents and
references make it easier for those interested in further study
within a specific area of interest. Educators looking for a summary
of contemporary events could use the introduction with little
modification. . . . This volume is a good starting point for
researchers and is recommended for most libraries.
*Booklist*
This encyclopedia presents a variety of key individuals to study
with respect to genocidal acts. The succinct text offers a valuable
starting point for further study as well as an informative read for
those generally interested in the unfortunate subject matter.
