Rezensionen

"...In this deeply thoughtful, conceptually sharp survey of legal and philosophical issues related to mass atrocities, May (Vanderbilt Univ.) ranges from highly theoretical questions, such as whether genocide is the most serious of all crimes, to generally neglected practical and moral questions... Specialized academics interested in the phenomenon of genocide should eagerly consume this book; they will find it most provocative and useful... Highly recommended..."
