Tatz distinguishes genocide from mass murder, war crimes, and other atrocities allowing readers to grasp the magnitude of the crime of genocide across time and throughout human civilization. He illustrates the myriad problems inherent in genocide prevention and in the punishment of perpetrators and analyses why nation-states typically avoid measures to prevent genocide. He also discusses the nature of and reasons underlying genocide denial and examines the impact of genocide on victim groups and on the perpetrators.
