Worse than War
by Daniel Goldhagen
In this book he sets out the criteria for genocide and says if certain things are in place, be it one person or a small group of people who is able to convince a large group of people that another group poses a threat to them, then you have the start of genocide. It is a very thoughtful book about what we can all do to influence our leaders and become more aware ourselves and I think it should be taught in every school.
