Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Killing Trap seeks to understand both the occurrence and magnitude of genocide, based on the conviction that such comparative analysis may contribute towards prevention of genocide in the future. Manus Midlarsky compares socio-economic circumstances and international contexts and includes in his analysis the Jews of Europe, Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, Tutsi in Rwanda, black Africans in Darfur, Cambodians, Bosnians, and the victims of conflict in Ireland. He gives equal emphasis to the non-occurrence of genocide, a critical element not found in other comparisons.
