"What is so first-rate about 'Crimes against Humanity' is the way Adam Jones takes the subject out of its standard legal casing and opens it up to a much wider social and political scrutiny. The result is not only highly accessible but also eminently sane, measured, and yet compassionate."

– Mark Levene - co-founder of the Forum of the Study of Crisis in the 21st Century

"A remarkable book that is immediately accessible for the novice in the field, or students, and yet also engages with its topic in intellectually interesting ways for the more seasoned reader. Helps chart the way forward for those already thinking about, or tussling with, the horrors of humanity and the seemingly ever evolving capacity to shock the conscience."

– James Gow - Professor of International Peace and Security, King's College London

"This book will be a must-read for students and practitioners. Jones has written a much-needed conceptual overview and call to action which will wake people up to the worst of which humanity is capable."

– Charli Carpenter - Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, University of Massachusetts
