The first thing that hits you looking through this 3 volume set is how ready, willing and able the human race is, world-wide, to kill, kill, kill. If the human race was a car, it would have been sent back to the factory, the schematics destroyed, and the engineers would have started all over again from scratch! Serious design flaws.
Anyway, this set is a (probably brief) catalog of man's inhumanity to man. There is some mention of genocides and crimes against humanity in pre-modern times, but most of the horror takes place in the 20th century & later, where modern weapons make killing easier and more efficient - where perpetrators take pictures & make films of themselves committing atrocities. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. The set is pretty up-to-date, including Darfur, Gujarat, and Abu Ghraib. A depressing glimpse at Planet Earth and it's inhabitants.
Includes black and white photos.

This book is an excellent concept.

However, four hundred and seventy dollars with no discount seems a bit much.

Perhaps the price is justified by the low volume.

If the book describes the current American gang stalking phenomenon, where the USA government allows fascist racketeering gang stalking groups to openly and notoriously stalk, harass, poison ( in many many severly damaging ways ) and irradiate people it would be worth it because there is almost a complete blackout on these crimes. The fear is intense.

One will need literature more critique with the Western world (markets, companies, sociobiology) to complete this book, or you will have a partial knowledge of the history and causes of this phenomena. Although it is an encyclopedia, there is an unbalanced weight in the topics with the serious absences commented before.

These volumnes must be completed with "Late Victorian Holocausts", M. Davis and others, to coverthe the reformulations in sociobiology performed by Galton, and its influence in the British Empire and other countries. These are very alive in the billion victims in the Third World.

This encyclopedia ignore the genocide in India with 30 billion victims explained in the Davies book. In a general way, the 3 volumes are quite benigne with the Anglo world, ignoring the ideological roots of the actual financial power and his real role in modern genocides (Congo, etc..).
