The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is pleased to announce the digital release of the Fundamentals of Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention. Written by Dr. Scott Straus, this resource is geared toward practitioners and students seeking an introduction to key issues in the field. The volume analyzes the normative, legal, and operational opportunities and challenges associated with preventing genocide and mass atrocities to date, and identifies unresolved issues in this nascent field of study and practice. Fundamentals also offers important insights into opportunities to strengthen our understanding and ability to implement policies and programs to stop the world’s worst violence.
An advance digital copy is now available so that instructors might review and plan for course inclusion. Please go to www.ushmm.org/fundamentals to download your free digital copy. You can review the table of contents below.
The final digital version of this Museum publication (that will incorporate final style and grammatical edits) will be available in late January. The hard copy of this book will be available for sale on Amazon by February 24, 2016. To receive a notification when it is published, please e-mail preventionbook@ushmm.org.
