Rosenbaum is professor of philosophy at Cleveland State University and the author of Prosecuting Nazi War Criminals The Philosophy of Human Rights Coercion and Autonomy and Constitutionalism: The Philosophical Dimension. His many articles have appeared in professional publications such as The encyclopaedia of Genocide The National Law Journal The International Journal of Applied Philosophy The Genocidal Mind and The Journal of Social Philosophy.

"Is the Holocaust Unique? is firmly established as a classic of Holocaust and genocide studies. This third edition, with its wealth of new essays and insights, is the richest and most provocative yet." -Adam Jones, University of British Columbia Okanagan, author of Genocide: A Comprehensive Introduction "Professor Rosenbaum has masterfully edited a landmark in this comprehensive, well-balanced, and compassionate study of the most systematic attempt at annihilating an entire race in the history of humankind. Seen in light of a current trend toward justice violations-from torture and extraordinary rendition to 'preemptive' war-the chapters of this volume may be potent reminders of just how violable the line is between sanity and savagery." -Elliot D. Cohen, Ph.D., Editor, International Journal of Applied Philosophy "With no dearth of ongoing challenges to human rights around the world, including the continued conflicts in Africa and renewed attention on global legal issues such as war crimes and crimes against humanity, the general theme of the book is as timely as ever. ... This volume is intended to provide food for thought and provoke ongoing inquiry into questions of comparative genocide. It surely does." -Cleveland Jewish News
