Recruiting and Training Genocidal Soldiers: Human Resource Development Perspectives on Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity

Delving into genocidal governments of the past, the work covered in thisbook explores how these genocidal belligerents had recruited and trainedtheir nation's citizenry into killing machines. Paramilitaries are oftenemployed by these government heads to carry out with such precision thesystematic slaughtering of innocents, doing so without resemblingcompunction. Largely enticing their recruits to join with the promise ofwealth and revenge. Training these recruits through political ideologicalindoctrination sessions, and subjecting the trainees to a demandingtraining schedule, these trainees eventually get their chance to enactwhat they have so long been training for. No other work has compiled suchan accurate and comprehensive account of the recruitment/selection, andtraining/development policies of Serbia's Arkan's Tigers, Cambodia's KhmerRouge, The Third Reich's Hitler Youth/SS, Sudan's Janjaweed, Al-Qaeda, andRwanda's Interahamwe.
