Book Reviews of A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide
Book Review: A Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
While this book was a difficult read, is was well researched and every argument fully supported by factual data. It really makes the reader comprehend what an impossible situation the United Stated is faced with in the age of genocide and what moral responsibility the US has in preventing genocide, if any. The book starts with the foundations of the term "genocide" and it many interpretations and then focuses on the major genocides in recent history, discussing the role of the US and what the US could have done or should have done to prevent the genocide. The reader is also left to ponder at what cost should the US intervene in international conflicts that have little or no bearing on US interests. This book is a must read for anyone interested in genocide and what role, if any, the US should take to prevent genocide from occurring, if prevention is even possible.
