A factual introduction to genocide and other mass atrocities. Eight levels cover where the word genocide came from and what the law means by it, the conditions and processes that lead to mass violence, five major cases (the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, Cambodia, Rwanda and Srebrenica), the choices of perpetrators, bystanders and rescuers, international courts and the debate over intervention, memory, denial and reconciliation, and what institutions and individuals can do to prevent atrocities.

The aim is understanding, not shock: the history is told plainly and without graphic detail, numbers are given as careful estimates, and debates are presented fairly. You should finish able to explain how atrocities happen, how the world has tried to respond, and where prevention can make a difference. No background needed.
