Genocidal Conscription - Drafting Victims and Perpetrators Under the Guise of War

Genocidal Conscription identifies a previously underexamined method by which two states, the Ottoman Empire in World War One and Axis-era Hungary during World War Two, used conscription - mandatory military service - to commit genocide under the guise of war. The book addresses implications and analyzes contemporary issues in authoritarian regimes.
