«
"Despite the weight of the subject, The Scourge of Genocide proves perfectly engaging, occasionally even peppered with a bit of humour, evident especially in the chapter ‘Encompassing Genocide’, wherein Jones details his efforts to put together his comprehensive introduction of the subject (and how he debated with his publisher the use of typical skull pictures for a cover). Moreover, the book is richly illustrated with photographs, and Jones cites not just scholarly texts and official reports but also rap lyrics and novels in making his points. The result is a book accessible to scholars and students alike, a rare page-turner that informs and enlightens, but never overwhelms." Guy Lancaster, Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture
