Free Download Deborah Mayersen, "On the Path to Genocide: Armenia and Rwanda Reexamined"
English | ISBN: 1782382844 | 2014 | 260 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Why did the Armenian genocide erupt in Turkey in 1915, only seven years after the Armenian minority achieved civil equality for the first time in the history of the Ottoman Empire? How can we explain the Rwandan genocide occurring in 1994, after decades of relative peace and even cooperation between the Hutu majority and the Tutsi minority? Addressing the question of how the risk of genocide develops over time, On the Path to Genocide contributes to a better understand why genocide occurs when it does. It provides a comprehensive and comparative historical analysis of the factors that led to the 1915 Armenian genocide and the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, using fresh sources and perspectives that yield new insights into the history of the Armenian and Rwandan peoples. Finally, it also presents new research into constraints that inhibit genocide, and how they can be utilized to attempt the prevention of genocide in the future.

Free Download Empire, Colony, Genocide: Conquest, Occupation, and Subaltern Resistance in World History (Studies on War and Genocide) edited by Omer Bartov, A. Dirk Moses

In 1944, Raphael Lemkin coined the term "genocide" to describe a foreign occupation that destroyed or permanently crippled a subject population. In this tradition, Empire, Colony, Genocide embeds genocide in the epochal geopolitical transformations of the past 500 years: the European colonization of the globe, the rise and fall of the continental land empires, violent decolonization, and the formation of nation states. It thereby challenges the customary focus on twentieth-century mass crimes and shows that genocide and "ethnic cleansing" have been intrinsic to imperial expansion. The complexity of the colonial encounter is reflected in the contrast between the insurgent identities and genocidal strategies that subaltern peoples sometimes developed to expel the occupiers, and those local elites and creole groups that the occupiers sought to co-opt.

Free Download Soe Tjen Marching, "The End of Silence: Accounts of the 1965 Genocide in Indonesia "
English | ISBN: 9462983909 | 2017 | 220 pages | PDF | 1011 KB
In the late 1960s, between one and two million people were killed by Indonesian president Suharto’s army in the name of suppressing communism-and more than fifty years later, the issue of stigmatisation is still relevant for many victims of the violence and their families. The End of Silence presents the stories of these individuals, revealing how many survivors from the period have been so strongly affected by the strategy used by Suharto and his Western allies that these survivors, still afraid to speak out, essentially serve to maintain the very ideology that led to their persecution.

Free Download Andrew Woolford, Jeff Benvenuto, "Canada and Colonial Genocide"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1138224766, 0367077817 | EPUB | pages: 136 | 0.4 mb
Settler colonialism in Canada has traditionally been portrayed as a gentler, if not benevolent, colonialism―especially in contrast to the Indian Wars in the United States. This national mythology has penetrated into comparative genocide studies, where Canadian case studies are rarely discussed in edited volumes, genocide journals, or multi-national studies. Indeed, much of the extant literature on genocide in Canada rests at the level of self-justification, whereby authors draw on the U.N Genocide Convention or some other rubric to demonstrate that Canadian genocides are a legitimate topic of scholarly concern.

Free Download War of Annihilation: Combat and Genocide on the Eastern Front, 1941 By Geoffrey P. Megargee
2007 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 0742544826 | PDF | 17 MB
On June 22, 1941, Hitler began what would be the most important campaign of the European theater. The war against the Soviet Union would leave tens of millions of Soviet citizens dead and large parts of the country in ruins. The death and destruction would result not just from military operations but also from the systematic killing and abuse that the German army, police, and SS directed against Jews, Communists, and ordinary citizens.In War of Annihilation, noted military historian Geoffrey P. Megargee provides a clear, concise history of the Germans’ opening campaign of conquest and genocide in 1941. By drawing on the best of military and Holocaust scholarship, Megargee dispels the myths that have distorted the role of Germany’s military leadership in both the military operations themselves and the unthinkable crimes that were part of them.
