“The Origins and Dynamics of Genocide is an important and ambitious book … . it shines a light on such an opaque period but also because it seeks so ardently and candidly to explain what happened and to understand it. Scholars can take many things from this book … that this is likely to become a definitive work of reference that explores key questions about the changing nature of political violence and how this can culminate in genocide.” (Gavin O’Toole, The Latin American Review of Books, latamron.com, August, 2017)
