The Politics of Genocide: The Holocaust in Hungary; Condensed Edition is an abbreviated version of the classic work first published in 1981 and revised and expanded in 1994. It 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. In this condensed edition; Randolph L. Braham includes the most important revisions of the 1994 second edition as well as new material published since then. Scholars of Holocaust; Slavic; and East-Central European studies will find this volume indispensable.
