Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's books are events. They stir passionate public debate among political and civic leaders, scholars, and the general public because they compel people to rethink the most powerful conventional wisdoms and stubborn moral problems of the day. Worse Than War gets to the heart of the phenomenon, genocide, that has caused more deaths in the modern world than military conflict. In doing so, it challenges fundamental things we thought we knew about human beings, society, and politics.
Drawing on extensive field work and research from around the world, Goldhagen explores the anatomy of genocide explaining why genocides begin, are sustained, and end; why societies support them, why they happen so frequently and how the international community should and can successfully stop them.
As a great book should, Worse than War seeks to change the way we think and to offer new possibilities for a better world. It tells us how we might at last begin to eradicate this greatest scourge of humankind.

great book:
Goldhagen's insights are original. His take on the subject might make you uncomfortable, but this is not an easy subject, of course, and Goldhagen has treated it with inarguable logic and analysis. Brilliant in every respect.

Anti Christian rederick:
If you like to read hate books peddled by an anti Christian that wants to widen the gap if he can then Read this book. This man is a sick raciest that tries to wrap reason around lies. Hitler was not a Christian as this man who obviously knows nothing about Christianity tries to profess. I hope one day he may find time to sit and do research for his next book before he graces humanity with more "Jerry Springer" style junk...Maybe he should read the bible the part that says that the "Jews are gods holy... more info
W H Y T H E T U T S I ?:
Talk about a dumb hangup: a Jew, a soi-disant scholar, devoting his life to researching
genocide. Mr. Goldhagen's work consists of showing tombs, bodies, lots of bodies, mass graves and interviews with genociders and survivors. His conclusions seem to consist of something vague, like "mass cruelty". Two bits Mr. Goldhagen could not define ethnicity. We'll do it for him: An ethnic group is above all a resources-sharing group. Resources are access to trade routes, arable land,pasture, water, fuel,... more info
Another Vitally Important work by Mr. Goldhagen:
WORSE THAN WAR is the third lucid work by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, whose three books have worked to demystify genocide. What I mean by this is that prior to reading HITLER'S WILLING EXECUTIONERS, no book I read about the Holocaust had the guts to define genocide in the simple but stark terms that it merits and deserves. I have read books by psychoanalysts about the Holocaust that make excuses for genocide--it was so compartmentalized they didn't know, or it was "Groupthink" or some other nonsense.more info
