Timothy Williams

The Complexity of Evil

Perpetration and Genocide

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Why do people participate in genocide? Timothy Williams presents an interdisciplinary model that shows how complex and diverse, but also how ordinary and mundane most motivations for participating in genocide are. The book draws on empirical examples from the Holocaust and Rwanda, and introduces new data from interviews with perpetrators of genocide in Cambodia.
