Title: GENOCIDE, WAR CRIMES AND THE WEST: HISTORY AND COMPLICITY; ED. BY ADAM JONES
Description: "Genocide and war crimes are increasingly the focus of scholarly and activist attention. Much controversy exists over how, precisely, these grim phenomena should be defined and conceptualized. Genocide, War Crimes and the West tackles this controversy, and clarifies our understanding of an important but under-researched dimension: the involvement of the US and other liberal democracies in actions that are conventionally depicted as the exclusive province of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes."--Jacket.
