Offers a global history of concentration camps, showing the differences and similarities between the various camp systems which have been used in the twentieth century.
Shows how camps have emerged in different places in different times, and argues that whilst creators of camp systems did learn from one another to some extent, camps are a largely "organic" development of modern states.
Sets the camps of the Third Reich into a global context, exploring the tradition they evolved from and also explaining what sets Nazi Germany apart from other regimes.
Explores how camps have been central to modern states' responses to crisis.
