Description: A history of the assault of the Hungarian state during World War II against the multi-ethnic and multi-religious society in the Carpathian borderland with the aim of transforming the region into an integral part of a "Greater Hungary" dominated by ethnic Hungarians.
Review Quotes: "Genocide in the Carpathians is an assured and original contribution to the field of modern European history. By looking at the experiences of different groups--Jews, Ruthenians, and Roma--over time and under different regimes, Segal challenges historians to think beyond a German-centric explanation for the Holocaust and towards genocide as a result of the interplay of state-building, ethnic relations, local politics and international diplomacy."--Dan Stone, Royal Holloway, University of London
