Timothy Williams, "The Complexity of Evil: Perpetration and Genocide" (Rutgers UP, 2020)
Why do people participate in genocide? In\xa0The Complexity of Evil: Perpetration and Genocide\xa0(Rutgers UP, 2020),\xa0Timothy 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. On my latest episode, we discuss all this and more.\nJeff Bachman\xa0is Senior Lecturer in Human Rights at American University\u2019s School of International Service in Washington, DC.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
