Genocide is not new and, as events in the Balkans and in central Africa showed at the close of the twentieth century, it is not something that can be comfortingly regarded as a feature of a more barbarous past. Why, then, if it can be seen as a terrible but recurring feature of human existence, has the Nazi genocide - the Holocaust - stood apart, refusing to be historicized? In this fresh new introduction to the subject, Frank McDonough examines the main features of the racial war-within-a-war; outlining the main controversies and looking also at the way the subject itself has been popularized and institutionalized. He gives proper weight to the central Jewish dimension but also looks at the other victims of Nazi atrocities.

An engaging range of period texts and theme books for AS and A Level history. This book examines the key roles played by Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain in the events that led to the outbreak of the Second World War. It looks at Hitler's foreign-policy aims, why appeasement became British foreign policy and, most extensively, the role of Chamberlain and appeasement in the unfolding international crisis of the late 1930s. Using a wide range of primary sources, Frank McDonough offers a generally critical interpretation of Chamberlain and appeasement, and suggests that standing up to Hitler earlier may have prevented war. The book also features a detailed analysis of the historical debates surrounding the issue of appeasement.
