Dorothy V. Jones. Toward a Just World: The Critical Years in the Search for International Justice. Chicago: University of Chicago Press. 2002. Pp. xv, 270. $30.00.

The proliferation of scholarly interest in genocide and war crimes testifies to the bloody trail of inhumanity that stretches from the beginning of the twentieth century up to the present day. The existence of the journal Holocaust and Genocide Studies and important recent monographs such as Samantha Power's A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide (2002) and Norman Naimark's Fires of Hatred: Ethnic Cleansing in Twentieth-Century Europe (2001) highlight this trend in scholarship. Three issues arise when examining genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity: the course of events, the spread of knowledge, and, finally, what was and could have been done to address the problem. The question of what could have been done is often considered in the context of international law, and it is on this question that Dorothy V. Jones's book makes its contribution.
