Follow the story of 20th - 21st Century Genocide as told by a man who researched, wrote a thesis and created a human rights early warning system that helped stop genocide, massacres and starvation in hot spots around the world. Respected reviewers call this book: 'Stunning, extremely well-written,. It carries the reader along inexorably. O’Brien is a fine storyteller. The book has a moral force that is compelling. His genocide prevention methods are a practical way to do early warning better than any book written so far. It is sure to be a best seller.' Dr Gregory Stanton, Genocide Watch. 'Wow. To the best of my knowledge, O’Brien’s book is the most advanced that I have seen, first, in its simplicity, ease, and readability. Second, for the outstandingly clear and precise methodology for getting information about genocidal acts out to the world press, and for its effective methods for reaching U.S. government and U.N. officials. It’s real stuff. It is way ahead of the whole bunch of us who have been writing and talking about intervention. It is written in a down to earth style describing recognizable human beings including their (and his) nuanced speech. It is a dramatic adventure story of a race to intervene to stop an actual ongoing genocidal massacre. He displays an unusual talent in respect to the topic of genocide prevention. Indeed, bravo!' - Israel W. Charny Executive Director, Institute on the Holocaust and Genocide.Beginning with a harrowing story of a genocide being interrupted in Sulawesi, Indonesia in 2001 and looking back in history of the reaction of bystanders to genocide from Armenia, through the Holocaust and the Holodomor through to the actions of the Center for the Prevention of Genocide (CPG) and its crew of twenty something year olds quick and successful response to unfolding genocide around the world. The story is a moral imperative to aid in the realization that almost anyone can make a life-saving difference, if they have the right strategy.
