520 1 $a"Worse Than War is an investigation into genocide, a phenomenon that seems so familiar and understood, but that needs to be rethought from the beginning. From across Europe to southern Africa, Guatemala to Indonesia, Cambodia to Darfur, genocide has been more deadly than even war itself, used by its perpetrators as a deliberate political strategy to take millions upon millions of lives. And yet the world has effectively done nothing to prevent or stop it. Even though the United Nations in 1948, in the wake of the Holocaust, passed the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, when political leaders have determined that it served their purposes, genocide has ensued." "Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, political scientist and public intellectual, challenges much of what we think we know about genocide, starting with how we should conceptualize the problem itself: as one part of the even larger political phenomenon and problem of "eliminationism." At every turn, with an unflinching eye, meticulous reasoning, and abundant evidence, he proposes new ways to understand its elements: the conditions giving rise to eliminationism, its essential features and mechanisms, and crucially how genocide and eliminationism can be prevented."--BOOK JACKET.
