Extraordinary Evil

A Short Walk to Genocide

Barbara Coloroso
August 2007     ISBN: 1568583710


Barbara Coloroso is renowned for her important discoveries on the nature of bullying, which she has studied for 30 years. In this illuminating and frightening book, Coloroso applies her findings in examining three clearly defined genocides in recent history: the Armenian and Rwandan genocides, and the European Holocaust. Deconstructing the causes and consequences of genocide, both for its victims and to the fabric of the world at large, Coloroso also lays out the global conditions necessary to end genocide, a phenomenon that seems to be on the rise, throughout the world and in people's consciousness.

What readers are saying

"Barbara Coloroso has spent her entire life fighting for social justice and equality. Her work is an astonishing encyclopedia of causes: from the bullying of children to the denocide in Rwanda. Nothing escpapes the unsparing force of her intellect, the gentle generosity of her soul, and her passion to shape a better world."

--Stephen Lewis, former UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa
