Exploring the resurgence of genocide in the twenty-first century, the book delves into the failures of the international community and the United States in preventing these atrocities. It examines the historical context following World War II when genocide was classified as a crime against humanity, contrasting it with contemporary challenges and the reasons behind the ineffectiveness of responses to such crises. Through this analysis, it highlights the complexities of international politics and moral responsibility in the face of ongoing human rights violations.

At the end of World War II, the international community deemed genocide a crime against humanity. Yet, at the dawn of the twenty-first century it has occurred repeatedly. This book explains why genocide began to occur in the twenty-first century and why the United States has been ineffective at preventing it and stopping it once it occurs.
