Cover Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Introduction; Case Studies Dynamis Contributing to Genocide in the Ancient World and Their Lingering Influence in Later Times: Introduction; Chapter One Establishing the Holy Land and the Destruction of the Idolaters; Chapter Two Mass Destruction and Genocide Among Ancient People with Many Deities; Chapter Three Mass Destruction Among Greeks and Romans; Chapter Four Mongol Destruction, Genocide, and the Establishment of the Mongol Empire; Chapter Five Shaka and the Establishment of the Zulu Kingdom.

This is a historical analysis of the dynamics and factors that have led to genocide, from ancient times to the beginning of the 20th century. With its emphasis on the individual case studies, the book seeks to give insight into changing dynamics leading to genocide from ancient times to the present. ... it analy[z]es the different genocides with a view of isolating the dynamics historians see as contributing to the different mass destructions. This allows me to draw a much closer connection between the historical case and the theoretical analysis."
