Description

Worse Than War gets to the heart of the phenomenon that has caused more deaths in the modern world than military conflict: genocide. Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's investigation challenges fundamental things we thought we knew about human beings, society, and politics. Drawing on extensive field work and research from around the world, Goldhagen explores the anatomy of genocide. He 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 successfuly stop them.

Daniel Jonah Goldhagen taught political science for many years at Harvard University before deciding to devote himself to writing full-time. He is the prize-winning author of Hitler's Willing Executioners and A Moral Reckoning.
