Wayne State University Press and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum have done students of the Holocaust and of modern Eastern-Central Europe a great service by releasing a condensed edition of Randolph Braham's classic study...The Politics of Genocide will remain the exhaustive and comprehensive point of reference for all future investigation into the history of the Holocaust in Hungary. Readers interested in an introduction to the many issues involved can do no better than to begin with this revised edition." – Paul Hanebrink, Rutgers University"This is a book that should be read and understood by the widest possible readership Clearly, it belongs on the shelves of serious Holocaust scholars and should also find an important niche in college level courses on the Holocaust and/or Jewish History . . . magnificent work." – Dr. Abraham J. Edelheit, assistant professor of History at Kingsborough Community College of the City University of New York."Professor Braham's The Politics of Genocide, is the most comprehensive and meticulously researched book in the literature of the Holocaust in general and Hungary in particular. . . . the standard and unsurpassed account of the destruction of Hungarian Jewry." – Bernard Klein, Kingsborough Community College, City University of New York"[T]his book will bring the history of the Holocaust in Hungary to a wide range of readers: scholars, teachers, undergraduates and graduate students. It is an abridgment of a monumental work and the remainder presents itself as a simply smaller monument." — Sidney Bolkosky, University of Michigan-Dearborn"The earlier majestic editions of The Politics of Genocide provided the English-speaking public with vivid and accurate information on European Jewry's ultimate tragedy, the Holocaust in Hungary, which took place lass than a year before the end of World War II. The book's Hungarian version caused a nation-wide re-thinking of the role Hungarians had played in that event. This abbreviated version should be read by students, scholars, and all those concerned with genocide at any time and in any country." – Istvan Deak, Columbia University
