This book offers a novel and productive explanation of why 'ordinary' people can be moved to engage in destructive mass violence (or terrorism and the abuse of rights), often in large numbers and in unexpected ways. Its argument is that narratives of insecurity (powerful horror stories people tell and believe about their world and others) can easily make extreme acts appear acceptable, even necessary and heroic. As in action or horror movies, the script dictates how the 'hero' acts. The book provides theoretical justifications for this analysis, building on earlier studies but going beyond them in what amount to a breakthrough in mapping the context of mass violence. It backs its argument with a large number of case studies covering four continents, written by prominent scholars from the relevant countries or with deep knowledge of them. A substantial introduction by the UN's Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide demonstrates the policy relevance of this path-breaking work.

What is the truth? It can mean so many different things to so many people. This is a book about one man’s literary journey toward the truth. It is his truth, and not necessarily yours. It might make you laugh out loud, or it might make you angry, or it might make you want to hide, or it might just turn your stomach. It’s a deeply personal book about a deeply personal subject. There’s a little something for everyone, and a lot to think about, and in some cases, maybe, much ado about nothing at all. Livened up with the author’s own hand-penned illustrations, it is surely an effort you are unlikely to forget.

Anyone who is plagued by nightmares night after night knows what a heavy burden these nocturnal apparitions represent: one is unable to resume sleep, often lies awake for a long time, and feels fearful, irritable or depressed the next day. What can help to take the fear out of the night? Understanding the message of nightmares is a first step toward relief. These energy-laden images can represent urgent questions stemming from the depth of the psyche.
