From the beginning of history to the most recent massacres in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur, genocide defies resolution. And given today's worldwide access to highly lethal weapons and advanced communications technology facilitating incitement to hate, we can expect to see this problem grow. It is often claimed that genocide occurs without warning, taking both local and global communities by surprise. Yet, as David Hamburg convincingly shows, we have had long-term advance knowledge of most modern genocides dating back to the early 20th century Armenian tragedy in Turkey and before. In this book, Dr. Hamburg applies a groundbreaking new perspective-the medical model of prevention-to the scourge of genocide in the world. Preventing genocide is not only possible, Dr Hamburg contends, but essential given its high cost in lives, human rights, and international security. Here he maps out numerous practical steps to recognise genocidal conflicts early and stem their tides of violence before they become acute. He also outlines several institutions in place and programs underway at the UN, EU, and NATO devoted to preventing future genocides before they erupt. He draws lessons both from missed opportunities and successful experiences and makes many constructive suggestions about strengthening international institutions, governments, and NGOs for this purpose.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394365952273,"sku":"CIN1594515573G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50422927327505,"sku":"CIN1594515573VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1594515573.jpg?v=1750991824"},{"product_id":"model-of-prevention-book-david-a-hamburg-md-9781612059266","title":"A Model of Prevention","description":"An autobiography of a ground-breaking medical doctor. Dr. David A. Hamburg started as a medical student with interest in stress disorders, paying special attention to the propensity toward violence, including the evolution of human aggression. This lead him on a path to becoming one of the most highly celebrated doctors in America - he was a member of President Clinton's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest civilian award of the United States). Most recently, he chaired committees at the United Nations and European Union on the prevention of genocide. This book will be inspirational for emerging scientists today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50395761836305,"sku":"CIN1612059260G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1612059260.jpg?v=1751214456"},{"product_id":"no-more-killing-fields-book-david-a-hamburg-md-md-9780742516755","title":"No More Killing Fields","description":"David A. Hamburg-doctor, teacher, hostage negotiator, presidential advisor, and more-has seen a lot in his 77 years and has a message for the 21st century: An ounce of prevention is worth many pounds of cure when it comes to deadly international conflict. To explore how the model of preventive medicine may be practically applied to political violence, Hamburg created the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict. This book is the capstone of the Commission's extensive efforts and covers situations as widely ranging as World War I's Holocaust, recent terrorist attacks in the U.S., and the War in Iraq. As Hamburg details, the prevention of war is built on key pillars including democratic governance, economic development, and nonviolent problem solving in dangerous situations. International cooperation and strong leadership at every level are essential. Perhaps most important, a civil society that embraces differences rather than exploiting them is an evolving need. In No More Killing Fields, David A. Hamburg combines the best of long personal experience, multifaceted scholarship, and acute prognosis to point the way toward peace in the 21st century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52120041259281,"sku":"NLS9780742516755","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780742516755.jpg?v=1779962671"},{"product_id":"give-peace-a-chance-book-david-a-hamburg-md-9781612051390","title":"Give Peace a Chance","description":"Detailed case studies of significant peace movements over the past 25 years, analysing successes and failures.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52430573666577,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430574453009,"sku":"NLS9781612051390","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781612051390.jpg?v=1759170084"},{"product_id":"give-peace-a-chance-book-david-a-hamburg-md-9781612051383","title":"Give Peace a Chance","description":"Detailed case studies of significant peace movements over the past 25 years, analysing successes and failures.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52433787060497,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433787781393,"sku":"NLS9781612051383","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781612051383.jpg?v=1759179030"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-david-a-hamburg-md.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
