In a new preface, Glover brings the book through the post-9/11 era and into our own time-and asks whether humankind can weaken the grip war has on us. Praise for the first edition:"It is hard to imagine a more important book. Glover makes an overwhelming case for the need to understand our own inhumanity, and reduce or eliminate the ways in which it can express itself-and he then begins the task himself. Humanity is an extraordinary achievement."-Peter Singer, Princeton University"This is an extraordinary book: brilliant, haunting and uniquely important. Almost 40 years ago a president read a best seller and avoided a holocaust. I like to think that some of the leaders and followers of tomorrow will read Humanity."-Steven Pinker, New York Times Book Review 606 $aHistory, Modern$y20th century$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aHumanity 615 0$aHistory, Modern$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aHumanity. 700 $aGlover$b Jonathan$093665 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816708703321 996 $aHumanity$9742315 997 $aUNINA
