Genocide is a topic beset by ambiguities over meaning and double
standards. In this stimulating and gripping history, William
Rubinstein sets out to clarify the meaning of the term genocide and
its historical evolution, and provides a working definition that
informs the rest of the book. He makes the important argument that
each instance of genocide is best understood within a particular
historical framework and provides an original chronology of these
distinct frameworks. In the final part of the book he critically
examines a number of alleged past and recent genocides: from native
Americans, slavery, the Irish famine, homosexuals and gypsies in
the Nazi concentration camps, Yugoslavia, Rwanda through to the
claims of pro-lifers and anti-abortionists.
