Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction

It's a good introductory text for BA students, in case you teach genocide-related courses. It's very readable, and expansive in the historical cases it discusses, so recommended for someone who needs an introductory handbook on this topic.

Got this book for class and it is a good read. I truly learned a lot from it.

This is a standard-setting work for the field of genocide studies, and the best *advanced* introduction to the topic--suitable for top-level college and graduate courses, or for teachers of college-level courses. The earlier editions were already excellent. According to the publisher's website, the 2017 third edition adds material on: Nigeria/Biafra as a "contested case" of genocide; the Kurds, Islamic State/ISIS & the civil wars/genocide in Iraq and Syria; conflict and atrocities in the world’s newest state, South Sudan; also on the role, activities, and constraints of the United Nations Office of Genocide Prevention; many new testimonies from genocide victims, survivors, witnesses and perpetrators, as well as dozens of new images, including a special photographic essay.

The most comprehensive book on genocide to date!

An amazing buy and an essential if your doing a dissertation on genocide. Very informative, you won't be disappointed.

Most informative textbook on Genocide I’ve come accross

The book represents worst academic practices in action - lack of evidence, lots of author's opinions based on rather weak and not appropriate sources at best (e.g. authors frequently refers to some magazine publications or hear-say, not to actual research and evidence). Book is not an academic research it pretends to be, but just a politically loaded blabbering on the sensitive subject. Author frequently uses the sensitivity of the material to make up for lack of research and evidence. Huge disappointment. I will never buy any "research" by this author - and frankly this publication was an obvious waste of paper.
