Social psychologists have much to teach us about why groups of people attempt to exterminate other groups, why people participate in such atrocious projects, and how they live with themselves afterwards. By bringing together social psychological research on genocide previously available only to readers of academic journals, this volume sheds crucial light on human behaviour at the extremes and in doing so, helps us take one more step towards preventing future tragedies.
