In the first comprehensive survey of the history and sociology of genocide, Frank Chalk and Kurt Jonassohn provide a new definition of genocide--one considerably broader than that contained in the United Nations Convention on Genocide--and present over two dozen examples of the one-sided mass slaughter of peoples, from Rome's final war with Carthage and the Mongol Conquests to the Holocaust, Bangladesh, and Cambodia.

"Between 1846 and 1873, California's Indian population plunged from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000. Benjamin Madley is the first historian to uncover the full extent of the slaughter, the involvement of state and federal officials, the taxpayer dollars that supported the violence, Indigenous resistance, who did the killing, and why the killings ended. This deeply researched book is a comprehensive and chilling history of an American genocide. Madley describes...

Drawing on extensive original Russian sources, Marel H. Van Herpen analyzes in detail how Putin's wars were prepared and conducted and why they led to allegations of war crimes and genocide.
