Genocide

Many people believe that we live in an age of genocides. William D. Rubinstein provides a unique chronological account of genocide down the ages, ranging from infamous mass murders directed by Hitlwer, Stalin and Pol Pot through to slaughters virtually unknown today, such as the Taiping rebellion in China and the appalling mass killings in Paraguay during the 1860s.   Challenging existing definitions, opinions, and statistics, Genocide's gripping historical narrative and original arguments make it thought-provoking and stimulating read.
