An ambitious book that forces a dramtic shift in our perceptions of the Holocaust...a dense, thoughtful book that challenges the reader on virtually every page.

Stephen G. Fritz, Central European History

This is a challenging book with far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Holocaust and its place in the history of the twentieth century.

Larry Eugene Jones, English Historical Review

Genuinely illuminating

...sophisticated...

David Cesarani, History Today

[A] provocative and essential study of the Nazi genocide.

Jewish Book World

Bloxham does a great job [of] relating the mass murder of people with disabilities, Soviet POWs, Roma, Polish elites, and Serbs to that of Jews... Eloquently written and well argued, The Final Solution: A Genocide offers fresh perspective on the Nazi genocide whose extreme nature had unduly stalled the historical analysis. A masterful attempt at contextualization, Bloxham's book should be on a list of required reading for any university course on genocide/mass violence.

Anton Weiss-Wendt, Golokost i Suchstnist

The Holocaust is frequently depicted in isolation by its historians. Some of them believe that to place it in any kind of comparative context risks diminishing its uniqueness and even detracts from the enormity of the Nazi crime. In reality, such a restricted understanding of 'uniqueness' has pulled the Holocaust apart from history and set up barriers to a better understanding of the racial onslaught unleashed within the Third Reich and its conquered territories. Working against the grain of much earlier writing, this innovative new history combines a detailed re-appraisal of the development of the genocide of the Jews, a full consideration of Nazi policies against other population groups, and a comparative analysis of other modern genocides. The Holocaust is portrayed as the culmination of a much wider history of European genocide and ethnic cleansing, from the late nineteenth century onwards. Ultimately, Bloxham shows that an explanation for the Holocaust rooted exclusively in Nazism and antisemitism is inadequate when set against one that is both prepared to give due weight to the immediate circumstances of the Second World War in eastern Europe and to situate the Jewish genocide within the broader patterns of human behaviour in the late-modern world.
