Description: "Genocide - the deliberate destruction, usually through mass murder, of an ethnic, racial or religious group - is the ultimate crime against humanity. Drawing upon a wide variety of disciplines, this study assesses ways to prevent this crime. While most books about genocide focus on the history of a particular event, such as the Holocaust, or compare case studies to derive empirical theories, this book outlines many practical aspects of genocide prevention."--BOOK JACKET.
