INTRODUCTION TO THE WEBSITE

Nearly two-hundred million people died as a result of violent acts generated by nation-states and other political groups in the Twentieth-Century. Collective forms of violence in the form of war, genocide and terrorism continue to dominate the Twenty-First Century.

Journalists and historians provide accounts of the recurring episodes of political violence. But do we really understand the causes and meanings of what has occurred?

The IDEOLOGIES OF WAR, GENOCIDE AND TERROR WEBSITE seeks to bring together the best that has been written and said about collective forms of destruction and self-destruction.

We hope that our Website will be used as resource for researchers, scholars and writers who seek to understand the roots of societal violence—and to provide further illumination and insight.
