Princeton University Pressc20061 online resource (280 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-691-09296-6 Includes bibliographical references (p. [219]-248) and index.Introduction: Are we killers or peacemakers? -- Why genocides? : are they different now than in the past? -- The psychological foundations of genocidal killing -- Why is limited warfare more common than genocide? -- Strategies to decrease the chances of mass political murder in our time -- Conclusions: Our question answered. Genocide, mass murder, massacres. The words themselves are chilling, evoking images of the slaughter of countless innocents. What dark impulses lurk in our minds that even today can justify the eradication of thousands and even millions of unarmed human beings caught in the crossfire of political, cultural, or ethnic hostilities? This question lies at the heart of Why Not Kill Them All? Cowritten by historical sociologist Daniel Chirot and psychologist Clark McCauley, the book goes beyond exploring the motives that have provided the psychological underpinnings for genocidal killings.GenocideSocial conflictConflict managementGenocidePreventionElectronic books.Genocide.Social conflict.Conflict management.GenocidePrevention.304.6/63Chirot Daniel158335McCauley Clark R876770MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996211813803316Why not kill them all1957675UNISA
