There exists a dominant narrative that essentially defines the US'
relationship with genocide through what the US has failed to do to
stop or prevent genocide, rather than through how its actions have
contributed to the commission of genocide. This narrative acts to
conceal the true nature of the US' relationship with many of the
governments that have committed genocide since the Holocaust, as
well as the US' own actions. In response, this book challenges the
dominant narrative through a comprehensive analysis of the US'
relationship with genocide. The analysis is situated within the
broader genocide studies literature, while emphasizing the role of
state responsibility for the commission of genocide and the crime's
ancillary acts. The book addresses how a culture of impunity
contributes to the resiliency of the dominant narrative in the face
of considerable evidence that challenges it. Bachman's narrative
presents a far darker relationship between the US and genocide, one
that has developed from the start of the Genocide Convention's
negotiations and has extended all the way to present day, as can be
seen in the relationships the US maintains with potentially
genocidal regimes, from Saudi Arabia to Myanmar. This book will be
of interest to scholars, postgraduates, and students of genocide
studies, US foreign policy, and human rights. A secondary
readership may be found in those who study international law and
international relations.
