Genocide is not an invention of the twentieth century in this absorbing book, but has occurred throughout history in all parts of the world. This study-the first comprehensive survey of the history and sociology of genocide -presents over two dozen examples of the one-sided mass slaughter of peoples, spanning the centuries from antiquity to the present.
