A pioneer scholar of globalization and contemporary warfare, Martin Shaw now focuses his sharp eye on international relations and genocide. This book's marrying of these fields challenges both theorists and historians to rethink the categories and temporalities of their analysis. It is an important innovation. - A. Dirk Moses, Professor of Global and Colonial History, European University Institute, Florence, Italy
