Century of Genocide : Critical Essays and Eyewitness Accounts (2nd ed)

Rwandan government forces, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, as well as the German, Bosnian and US governments have all been guilty of the destruction of their indigenous cultures and the depravation of human rights.

Through eyewitness accounts, scholarly analyses and historical data, the contributors seek to minimize the doubt and confusion created by cynics, deniers and 'interpreters' who try to shape historical events to fit their own purposes.

Focusing on the major atrocities of our time, Century of Genocide provides accurate and verifiable historical information on how and why particular genocides were committed.

The second edition contains new chapters on the genocide in the former Yugoslavia and the mass killing of the Kurds in Iraq, as well as updated information on the Cambodian genocide and a more detailed account of the Rwandan slayings.
