Here, he explores the history of holocaust and denial in this hemisphere, beginning with the arrival of Columbus and continuing on into the present.\nHe frames the matter by examining both \"revisionist\" denial of the Nazi-perpatrated Holocaust and the opposing claim of its exclusive \"uniqueness,\" using the full scope of what happened in Europe as a backdrop against which to demonstrate that genocide is precisely what has been—and still is—carried out against the American Indians.\nChurchill lays bare the means by which many of these realities have remained hidden, how public understanding of this most monstrous of crimes has been subverted not only by its perpetrators and their beneficiaries but by the institutions and individuals who perceive advantages in the confusion. In particular, he outlines the reasons underlying the United States's 40-year refusal to ratify the Genocide Convention, as well as the implications of the attempt to exempt itself from compliance when it finally offered its \"endorsement.\"\nIn conclusion, Churchill proposes a more adequate and coherent definition of the crime as a basis for identifying, punishing and preventing genocidal practices, wherever and whenever they occur.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0872863239\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0872863239.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Churchill, Ward\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
