About this book
"This book looks at the politics of our times and the roots of human nature to discover why so many atrocities were perpetuated and how we can create a social environment to prevent their recurrence." "Jonathan Glover finds similarities in the psychology of those who perpetuate, collaborate in, and are complicit with atrocities, uncovering some disturbing common elements - tribal hatred, blind adherence to ideology, diminished personal responsibility."--BOOK JACKET.
