A Century of Genocide Zusammenfassung

A Century of Genocide: Utopias of Race and Nation Eric D. Weitz

In a blend of gripping narrative and trenchant analysis, Eric Weitz investigates four of the twentieth century's major eruptions of genocide: the Soviet Union under Stalin, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, and the former Yugoslavia. Drawing on historical sources as well as trial records, memoirs, novels, and poems, Weitz explains the prevalence of genocide in the twentieth century - and shows how and why it became so systematic and deadly.

A Century of Genocide Bewertungen

"Weitz has produced something exceedingly rare: a scholarly book one cannot put down. This is a meritorious, thoughtful book." - Choice "Despite its analytical and reasoned approach, this work cannot be read without feeling outrage, despair and horror. Weitz's work raises profound questions about the human capacity for violence." - Publishers Weekly "[A]n important, thought-provoking book on an inordinately complex subject." - Gavriel Rosenfeld, New Leader "[A] courageous [project]... [that] will serve as an excellent first introduction to Lenin and Stalin's crimes, the Holocaust, the Cambodian massacres of the 1970s and the ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia." - Brendan Simms, Times Higher Education Supplement "Weitz makes a persuasive case that these genocides were not simply anarchic eruptions of age-old hatreds, but rather were engineered by crisis-ridden regimes promoting utopian visions requiring a radical refashioning of the population." - Martin F. Farrell, Perspectives on Political Science"
