Sommario/riassunto

Helping Humanity: American Policy and Genocide Rescue offers a scholarly examination of America's complicated reactions to genocide and genocide rescue. It provides a synthesis of humanitarian concerns within the broader narrative of American foreign policy that gives an underappreciated policy consideration the attention it is due. This book will serve as an approachable work both for those interested in genocide and specialists in foreign policy.
