Massacre in History

The role of massacre in history has been given little focused attention either by historians or academics in related fields. This is surprising as its prevalence and persistence surely demands that it should be a subject of serious and systematic exploration. What exactly is a massacre? When - and why - does it happen?

Rolul masacrului in istorie nu a primit o atentie deosebita, fie de catre istorici, fie de academicieni din domenii conexe. Acest lucru este surprinzator, deoarece prevalenta si persistenta sa cer cu siguranta ca ar trebui sa fie un subiect de explorare serioasa si sistematica.
