Doris L. Bergen's War and Genocide is widely praised for its comprehensive and accessible exploration of the Holocaust within the broader context of World War II. Critics commend its clarity and depth, yet some note it could delve deeper into certain events and perspectives. Despite this, it remains a valuable resource for both students and scholars.
