From the years leading up to the First World War to the aftermath
of the Second, Europe experienced an era of genocide. As well as
the Holocaust, this period also witnessed the Armenian genocide in
1915, mass killings in Bolshevik and Stalinist Russia, and a host
of further ethnic cleansings in Anatolia, the Balkans, and Eastern
Europe. Crisis of Genocide seeks to integrate these genocidal
events into a single, coherent history. Over two volumes, Mark
Levene demonstrates how the relationship between geography, nation,
and power came to play a key role in the emergence of genocide in a
collapsed or collapsing European imperial zone - the Rimlands - and
how the continuing geopolitical contest for control of these
Eastern European or near-European regions destabilised
relationships between diverse and multifaceted ethnic communities
who traditionally had lived side by side. An emergent pattern of
toxicity can also be seen in the struggles for regional dominance
as pursued by post-imperial states, nation-states, and would-be
states. Volume I: Devastation covers the period from 1912 to 1938.
It is divided into two parts, the first associated with the prelude
to, actuality of, and aftermath of the Great War and imperial
collapse, the second the period of provisional 'New Europe'
reformulation as well as post-imperial Stalinist, Nazi - and
Kemalist - consolidation up to 1938. Levene also explores the
crystallisation of truly toxic anti-Jewish hostilities, the
implication being that the immediate origins of the Jewish
genocides in the Second World War are to be found in the First.
