Follow the story of 20th – 21st Century Genocide as told by a man who wrote a thesis and created a human rights early warning system that helped stop genocide, massacres and starvation in hot spots around the world. From 2000 – 2004 a group of twenty-something human rights activists raced against horrible unfolding events around the world to prevent or intervene in massacres and intentional starvation to save lives. Surprisingly, they were often successful seeming to have stumbled onto the keys to preventing genocide. This true story book recounts 110 years of recent genocide and heroes who intervened and then tells the story of a brief, talented group who found a way to get ahead of the curve of violence that plagues the human condition. We should all read and learn this lesson so the next generation doesn’t have to.
