One of this impressive volume's many virtues is the inclusion of little-known cases along with coverage of the twentieth century's mega-genocides by experts from many countries. This is a standout volume in an increasingly crowded field. Dirk Moses, European University Institute, Italy It is time to further explore genocide in its global scope. This brilliant collection of essays comes right in time: From Siberia to Australia, from Los Alamos to Srebrenica, this volume presents genocide as a phenomenon in its full diversity and its global spread. Alexander Korb, University of Leicester, UK Using the concept of genocide as a broad category of analysis, the essays in this volume address important questions about the history of mass violence around the globe. Revealing the historical, geographical, and ideological variety of genocidal acts - and highly attuned to the complexity of this sensitive subject - the book offers valuable insights into the history of violence and will be useful for researchers and teachers in a wide range of fields. Karl Gunther, University of Miami, USA
