This groundbreaking book provides a fresh perspective on the intricate dynamics of state repression and its impact on socio-historic change. The author skillfully addresses essential questions about the nature of state repression, offering a nuanced analysis of why some instances result in single bouts of violence, while others escalate to genocide or civil wars. What sets this book apart is its rich blending of quantitative analyses, process tracing, and mechanistic explanations through a detailed examination of 171 protest massacres spanning two centuries. The concept of singularity is aptly applied to the historical context, challenging conventional linear approaches to understanding political violence. Dr. Pelin Ayan Musil Senior Researcher, Institute of International Relations Prague, Czech Republic
