Tracing the roots of mass violence in the twentieth century, this book demonstrates that terms such as 'genocide' and 'ethnic cleansing' are too narrow to explain the diverse causes of human destruction. The author explores periods of widespread bloodshed in countries such as Armenia and Bangladesh and anti-guerilla wars worldwide.
