One long night : a global history of concentration camps
Andrea Pitzer (Author)
Reveals the chronological and geopolitical history of concentration camps from 1890s Cuba to the Philippines and southern Africa in the early twentieth century, to the Soviet Gulag and detention camps in China and North Korea during the Cold War. Pitzer discusses their use for civilian relocation and exposing their role as dehumanizing sites for political repression that have claimed millions of lives. --Adapted from publisher description
