The Widening Circle of Genocide, the third volume of an
award-winning series, combines an encyclopedic summary of knowledge
of the subject with annotated citations of literature in each field
of study. It includes contributions by R.J. Rummel, Leonard Glick,
Vahakn Dadrian, Rosanne Klass, Martin Van Bruinessen, James Dunn,
Gabrielle Tyrnauer, Robert Krell, George Kent, Samuel Totten, and a
foreword by Irving Louis Horowitz.
This volume presents scholarship on a variety of topics,
including: Germany's records of the Armenian genocide; little-known
cases of contemporary genocide in Afghanistan, East Timor, and of
the Kurds; a provocative new interpretation of the psychic scarring
of Holocaust survivors; and nongovernmental organizations that have
undertaken the beginnings of scholarship on the worldwide problems
of genocide. The Widening Circle of Genocide embodies reverence for
human life; its goal is the search for new means to prevent
genocide.
This work is distinguished by its excellence, originality, and
depth of its scholarship. The first volume was selected by the
American Library Association for its list of "Outstanding Academic
Books of 1988-89." It is both compelling reading and an invaluable
tool for scholars and students who wish to pursue specific fields
of study of genocide. It will also be of interest to political
scientists, historians, psychologists, and religion scholars.
