Daniel Goldhagen: Genocide's Assault on Humanity
With his international bestseller Hitler's Willing Executioners, Daniel Goldhagen stirred passionate public debate by compelling people to reexamine a profound and stubborn moral dilemma. Now he's turned to the phenomenon of genocide, which he calls the greatest scourge of humankind, having caused more deaths in the modern world than military conflict. Goldhagen says we can't begin to eradicate genocide until we challenge fundamental assumptions about human nature, society, and politics. Toward that end, his latest book Worse Than War explains why genocides begin, are sustained, and end; why societies support them; why they happen so frequently; and how the international community should and can successfully stop them.
