Description
The third revised and updated edition of this comprehensive two-volume history by one of the world's leading experts on the Holocaust provides unparalleled perspective on the destruction of Hungarian Jewry during the Nazi era. A critical component of any collection on the Holocaust, this work not only provides a detailed chronicle of the complex domestic and international developments that led to one of World War II's darkest events but also works as a complete reference of maps, dates, people, and other essential, hard-to-find materials. This edition identifies and analyzes within Hungarian history, world history, and international politics the historical, political, ideological, and socioeconomic factors that shaped the attitudes and policies of the Holocaust's main players. An exhaustive resource of everything we now know, The Politics of Genocide is essential reading for a richer understanding of this atrocity and its legacy.

Quite a few of today's foremost historians spend their lives studying the history of the Holocaust, but none has done more than Braham in uncovering the background and developments of one of the most tragic events of it all, the last-minute destruction of over half a million Hungarian Jews. Braham's familiarity with the events as well as the depth of his research and cool logic of his argument are nearly unassailable. Among all of Braham's works, The Politics of Genocide stands out as the most famous and substantial. -- Istvan Deak, Seth Low professor emeritus of history, Columbia University Randolph Braham is the leading expert on the Holocaust in Hungary. This new edition of his compelling masterpiece is the definitive account of a tragedy that continues to reverberate inside and outside Hungary today. -- Richard Breitman, distinguished professor emeritus, American University
