More than half a century after the end of World War II — author Daniel Jonah Goldhagen is convinced that the overall phenomenon of genocide is as poorly understood as the Holocaust had once been.

Goldhagen speaks with victims, perpetrators, witnesses, religious leaders, politicians, diplomats, historians, humanitarian aid workers and journalists.
