The Cambridge World History of Genocide is a comprehensive and world history of genocides. The three-volume series offers an in-depth analysis and anatomy of genocides. Edited by Ben Kiernan and contributed by leading international experts in the field from various disciplines, scholars take a multi-disciplinary approach to the phenomenon of genocide. Thematic and empirical approaches shed light on its origins, causes, consistent traits, and interconnections across various cases. This series covers themes of racism, religion, state, gender bias, and human decision-making. Further, documents and evaluates genocides, extermination, war crimes and crimes against humanity starting from the prehistory to the present day in different continents and regions. 

                         

With its comprehensive examination of the breadth of significant genocides and genocidal massacres, this enormous series stands as a ground-breaking pillar in the field of genocide studies. The series concludes with a thoughtful discussion on strategies into preventing future atrocities — that would offer key lessons to academics, professionals and policymakers.
