| Summary: | Mark Levene's two-volume study offers a thorough analysis of the genocidal “crisis” that raged in Europe during the first half of the twentieth century. The aim of this polyptych is “to understand the phenomenon of genocide as an aspect of world-historical development” (p. xiii). Volume I consists of six chapters: one on the First World War as the incubus of mass violence; a long chapter on the Armenian genocide; chapter 3 on the consequences of the armistice era; chapter 4 on interwar assaults on minorities in new nation states; and two chapters on the rise of the Stalinist and Hitlerite states. |
