Narrative
The Politics of Genocide: The Holocaust in Hungary, is a version of this classic work first published in 1981, and revised and expanded in 1994.
The book includes a new historical overview, and retains and sharpens its focus on the persecution of the Jews.
Through a meticulous use of Hungarian and many other sources, the book explains in a rational and empirical context the historical, political, communal, and socioeconomic factors that contributed to the unfolding of this tragedy at a time when the leaders of the world, including the national and Jewish leaders of Hungary, were already familiar with the secrets of Auschwitz.
The Politics of Genocide is the most eloquent and comprehensive study ever produced of the Holocaust in Hungary.
