crl-15668	Winter, Michael F.	Knuth, Rebecca. Libricide: The Regime-Sponsored Destruction of Books and Libraries in the Twentieth Century. Westport, Conn.: Praeger, 2003. 277p. alk. paper, $39.95 (ISBN 027598088X). LC 2002-44542.	2004-05-01	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1668	81	50	Chapters 2 and 3 provide first a con- ceptual and historical overview (“The Evolution and Functions of Libraries”) and second a conceptual framework (“A Theoretical Framework for Libricide”), which contextualizes the five case studies presented in chapters 4 through 8 (Nazi Germany, Greater Serbia, Iraq’s 1990 attack on Kuwait, the Chinese cultural revolution, and the Chinese attack on Tibet) while a final summary discussion, “The Collision of Ideas,” is presented in chapter 9. Without this slant, the reader could prematurely conclude that the seriousness about the “sky is falling on academic librarianship” is a bit too much.	cache/crl-15668.pdf	txt/crl-15668.txt
