Genocide: The Basics is an engaging introduction to the study of a controversial and widely debated topic. This concise and comprehensive book explores key questions such as: how successful have efforts been in the prevention of genocide? How prevalent has genocide been throughout history?

Real world case studies address significant issues including:

- Peacekeeping efforts in the 1990s
- Legal attempts to create a genocide-free world
With suggestions for further reading, discussion questions at the end of each chapter, and a glossary of key terms, Genocide: The Basics is the ideal starting point for students approaching the topic for the first time.
