This disturbing history of mass ethnic killings across the world examines the why, when, where, and how genocide takes place--that's a lot for one small book. But in a lucid, informal text, Springer ably documents particular crimes against humanity, including the transatlantic slave trade, the slaughter of America's Native peoples, the Turkish massacre of the Armenians, the Nanking massacre, the Holocaust, and the Khmer Rouge slaughter in Cambodia. She connects those horrific crimes with each other and also with the recent massacres in Rwanda and with what is happening in Darfur, Sudan. Neither sensational nor generic, this sturdy title in the Groundwood Guide series includes meticulously documented notes, a bibliography, detailed time line, and a list of organizations to contact for more information. A fine resource for Holocaust and genocide curriculums, and as a discussion starter on the topic of human rights.
