A candid look at social and political climates
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Now in a newly updated and revised fifth edition, Irving Horowitz's Taking Lives: Genocide And State Power is a brutally sober and candid look at the social and political climates that have fostered state-inspired mass-murder in the 20th century. Divided into five sections that focus on the present, past, future, general theory, and intense study of state-sponsored genocide, Taking Lives leaves no stone unturned in its thorough analysis. The new fifth edition concludes with chapters that review genocide studies from 1945 to the present. Taking Lives is a critical, scholarly reference not to be overlooked for political science and social reference shelves, as it shows new ways of viewing the human condition and how easily the state apparatus can be corrupted into a bludgeon of mass murder.
