An insightful study of the impact of the "genocide" idea, seen through the career of Raphael Lemkin, the refugee Polish-Jewish jurist who coined the word in 1944. Dr. Martin provides a masterful unraveling of the ways in which the specter of "genocide" has been manipulated by the powerful for political gain, and how this dubious international legal concept has done nothing to deter actual crimes against peoples. All the more relevant in light of the continued attention by media and politicians to “genocide,” and given that the U.S. has ratified the Genocide Treaty.
Written by an outstanding American revisionist scholar, author of numerous books, whose teaching career spanned 25 years.
With three appendices and an index.
