Raphaël Lemkin and the Concept of Genocide
"Just as humanitarian and genocide studies have flourished in recent decades, so too have Lemkin studies-a field to which Douglas Irvin-Erickson adds with his superb intellectual biography. This impeccably researched work tells us little about the man's personal life; rather, it provides a deep understanding of the ideas that shaped Lemkin, the concepts he articulated, and the machinations he orchestrated to ensure passage of the Convention."

"An excellent intellectual biography that advances the young burgeoning field of Lemkin (and genocide) studies in significant ways."
Dirk Moses, University of Sydney
"Intriguing and innovative, Raphaël Lemkin and the Concept of Genocide is a brilliant marriage of international law and philosophy. It will make a significant contribution to the still modest field of Lemkin studies."
David Crowe, Elon University
