This book looks at the politics of our times and the roots of human nature to discover why so many atrocities were perpetuated and how we can create a social environment to prevent their recurrence. Jonathan Glover finds similarities in the psychology of those who perpetuate, collaborate in, and are complicit with atrocities, uncovering some disturbing common elements--tribal hatred, blind adherence to ideology, diminished personal responsibility--as well as characteristics unique to each situation. Acknowledging that human nature has a dark and destructive side, he proposes that we encourage the development of a political and personal moral imagination that will compel us to refrain from and protest all acts of cruelty.Hide synopsis

This book is a great view of what morals push us to do in situations. Jonathan Glover brings up many issues that are very important to us now and many historical issues and relates what brings those about to our moral standings.
Great book, well written, and I'd recommend this book any day

He provides us with a good opportunity ...
