United States and Genocide - (Re)defining the Relationship

Zusatztext "This book...reopens the academic debate on a relatively under-researched question: the role of the United States in the perpetration and prevention of mass violence and more specifically genocide. Very critical of the American authorities, the book is nonetheless based on a solidly argumentation and, in the end, is quite convincing."- Julien Zarifian, Politique Americaine, 2018 Informationen zum Autor Jeffrey S.
