From the publisher’s description:

Nietzsche is one of the most important and widely read philosophers of all time and his On the Genealogy of Morals is one of the most frequently studied of all his works-a key text in the study of moral philosophy.

In Nietzsche's "On the Genealogy of Morals": A Reader's Guide, Daniel Conway explains the philosophical background against which the book was written, the wider context of Western morality in general and the key themes and topics inherent in the text.
