Library of Social Science Announces the Publication of NATIONS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL: Hitler, the Holocaust and War |
||
A work of stunning originality, Nations Have the Right to Kill changes forever our understanding of the motives that drive nation-states toward destruction and self-destruction. Focusing on the two World Wars and the Holocaust, this book provides insights into the “hidden narratives” operating under the radar of history. Since its publication in July 2009, Dr. Koenigsberg’s study of the ideologies and desires that generate political violence has generated excitement and discussion throughout the world.PRAISE FOR NATIONS HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL“Richard Koenigsberg's ideas on human violence and destructiveness—ideas that are startling all the more for being self-evident once they have been absorbed—cut through conventional notions about culture and war, enabling us to understand human institutions in utterly new ways.” —Ruth Stein, Ph.D., author of For Love of the Father (Stanford University Press) “Richard Koenigsberg skillfully confronts the taken-for-granted worlds of nationalism and political realism, presenting original arguments and grounding them in historical evidence. Throwing back the curtains on the nation-state, Koenigsberg interrogates motivations behind the human tragedies of the two World Wars.” —Professor Matthew Eddy, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion “This is an inquiry of great depth and tragic urgency. A deep humanity and ethical urgency informs this book which is full of original and provocative insights.” —Walter A. Davis, Professor Emeritus, Ohio State University “Dr. Koenigsberg’s is a message that anyone with an interest in changing the course of human history should internalize and reflect upon. Can human beings transcend war? If so, Nations Have the Right to Kill will be one of our most important guides. Its striking lucidity will be a catalyst for our collective evolution.” —Lee Hall, JD “Despite the vast body of research devoted to the Holocaust, Nations Have the Right to Kill marks a seminal contribution to our understanding of this act of genocide.” —Brian A. Victoria, Professor of Japanese Studies, Antioch University, author of Zen at War “Combining solid historical scholarship and profound psychological insight, this book is recommended for courses that address the whys of the Holocaust, as well as historical and contemporary genocides.” —Dr. Steven Leonard Jacobs, Department of Religious Studies and Chair of Judaic Studies, University of Alabama “Nations Have the Right to Kill is a fresh and passionate mode of theorizing war.” —Professor Babak Rahimi, Program for the Study of Religion, University of California, San Diego “Nations have the Right to Kill is a passionate monograph that presents a searing criticism of the sacrificial ideology that mobilizes people for war.” —Michael Roberts, Professor of Anthropology, University of Adelaide
