Peter Ronayne's Never Again? provides the reader with a provocative
and comprehensive first look at American foreign policy as it
relates to the prevention and punishment of genocide since the
Holocaust. In the aftermath of World War II the United States and
the world pledged to "never again" allow genocidal atrocities.
Never Again? reveals that too often this bold promise has been a
failed promise. The book chronicles how the United States has
repeatedly missed opportunities or "ethical leadership moments" to
stand up for human rights and save hundreds of thousands of lives
when faced with genocide in Cambodia, Bosnia and Rwanda. At the
same time, Ronayne explores how the U.S. has taken important action
to bring about justice in the aftermath of genocidal crimes,
despite its initial reluctance to even ratify the Genocide
Convention. From this dual record of striking failures and
important accomplishments emerge provocative questions about the
United States' leadership on the world stage, global ethics and
morality, and America's commitment to genocide prevention and
punishment in the 21st century.
