Studies in Comparative Genocide

by Levon Chorbajian (Editor), George Shirinian (Editor)

Many of the world's leading authorities from history, sociology, political science and psychology shed new light on the major genocides of the 20th century in this excellent collection. Contributors Irving L. Horowitz and Roger W. Smith provide broad interpretative introductions to the subject. The essays explore events from the Armenian Genocide and the Ukrainian famine up to the Bosnian and Rwandan genocides. Thirteen of the fourteen essays are previously unpublished.

This book was fairly disappointing. I expected more "comparative" essays based on the title. I also expected a higher level of scholarship from the authors. Some of the included essays sounded like persuasive speeches written for a college class.
