Reviews

"While this volume will provide a robust synthesis for advanced students and scholars, it is also an important resource for students new to the topic. Includes an excellent chronology, further reading list, and relevant Web sites for additional information....Essential."--C. Pinto, CHOICE
" [T]he value of this broad perspective is in the compelling connections he makes, and his drawing out of, as he described it, the remarkable and frightening similarity in genocides throughout recorded history....Genocide: A World History succeeds in Naimark's aim of drawing out of that remarkable and frightening similarity in the cases considered."--Ashley Kalagian BluntSydney Review of Books
