Book Synopsis Overcoming Evil by : Ervin Staub
Book excerpt: Overcoming Evil describes the origins of genocide, violent conflict and terrorism, principles and practices of prevention, and avenues to reconciliation. It considers societal conditions, culture and insitutions, and the psychology of individuals and groups. It aims to promote knowledge and "active bystandership" by leaders, the media and citizens. It uses both past cases such as the Holocaust, and contempoary ones such as Rwanda, the Congo, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and contemporary terrorism as examples.
