Summary:

For scholars, students, and lay readers, Bartrop (Holocaust and genocide studies, Richard Stockton College) offers a biographical encyclopedia that documents people involved in genocides that have occurred after World War II, when genocides like the Holocaust continued to occur, even as people vowed to never let it happen again. Including those who played key roles in mass murders around the world, and the victims, bystanders, witnesses, journalists, and humanitarians who contributed to efforts to stop them, from Idi Amin to Mia Farrow to Saddam Hussein, entries describe each individual's personal background, career, and relationship to genocidal events, humanitarian actions, or international initiatives. Sources include books, documentaries, personal interviews, and websites. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
