"The late 20th century produced a sinister euphemism: 'ethnic cleansing.' This program concludes a comprehensive survey of genocide by looking at the most recent exampls in Iraq, Iran, and Turkey; Burundi and Rawanda; the former Yugoslavia; Indonesia and East Timor; and Chechnya. The role and efforts of the United Nations are discussed as well as what the future holds in trying to prevent genocide."--Container.
