Reviews
Human Rights and Wrongs is a magnificent book: lucid, insightful, nuanced, and encompassing. I know of no other work that deals with all of the major threats to human rights ... Moreover, its discussion of the place of democracy in fostering and preserving human rights is original, chastening, yet encouraging. -- Roger W. Smith, College of William and Mary, and past president, International Association of Genocide scholars Helen Fein has long been one of the world's leading experts on genocide and state-sponsored massacres. In her superb new book she returns to that subject but also delves into other atrocities ... Her eloquent discussion and shrewd insights help readers to understand why these appalling forms of human cruelty have occurred. -- Mark Kramer, Director of Cold War Studies, Harvard University
