"Genocides are profound moral failures, that much is obvious. The thoughtful, provocative chapters in this superb volume go beyond that to explain the ways in which genocides are human failures. The book's gift to readers is in positioning them to see how social psychology helps us to prevent, and respond to, genocides, and can help all of humanity to heal." --Craig McGarty, Professor of Psychology, Western Sydney University

"This book makes a strong case that social psychology has something to contribute to understanding--and, one hopes, one day eliminating--the worst of human behavior. It takes us back to the roots of our discipline when the pioneers of social psychology grappled with the most important social and political issues of the day." --Jerry M. Burger, Professor Emeritus, Santa Clara University, and the author of The Shadows of 1915
