What makes the collection unique?and chilling?is the inclusion of declassified documents generated by the US government at the time: memoranda, telegrams, letters, talking points, cables, discussion papers, and situation reports. In his introduction, Totten offers a critical assessment of US foreign policy as it pertains to genocide and crimes against humanity, and discusses the differences between those two terms. In the chapters that follow, each author presents a detailed analysis of a particular case of crimes against humanity or genocide by a foreign government against its own citizens, and discusses why and how the United States government was complicit. 606 $aGenocide$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aCrimes against humanity$zUnited States$vCase studies 615 0$aGenocide 615 0$aCrimes against humanity 676 $a304.663 702 $aTotten$b Samuel 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bAzTeS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795562203321 996 $aDirty hands and vicious deeds$93827173 997 $aUNINA
