{"product_id":"9781441110800","title":"The Holocaust and Genocides in Europe","description":"Focusing on the major cases of genocide in twentieth-century Europe,  including the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, and genocide in the  former Yugoslavia, as well as mass killing in the Soviet Union, this book outlines the internal and external roots of  genocide. Internal causes lie in the rise of radical nationalism and  the breakdown of old empires, while external causes lie in the  experience of mass violence in European colonial empires. Such roots did  not make any case of genocide inevitable but did create models for mass  destruction. The book enables students to assess the interplay between  general causes of violence and the specific crises that accelerated  moves towards radical genocidal policies. Chapters on the major cases of  twentieth-century European genocide will each describe and analyse  several key themes: acts of genocide; perpetrators, victims and  bystanders; and genocide in particular regions. Using the voices of the  human actors in genocide, often ignored or forgotten, provides arresting  new insights. The conclusion frames European genocide in a global  perspective, giving students an entry point to discussion of genocide in  other continents and historical periods.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154944180464,"sku":"9781441110800","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781441110800_p0.jpg?v=1763791373","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781441110800","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
