Klappentext Why do we allow our governments to get away with “bystanding” to genocide? Focusing on the relationships between citizens, political elites, and U.S. institutions in the most powerful nation in the world, Reluctant Interveners offers a sobering account of the interplays between values and interests, words and deeds, which transformed the pledge of “never again” to a recurring reality of ever again. Zusammenfassung Why do we allow our governments to get away with ""bystanding"" to genocide? How can we, when alerted to the mass slaughter of innocents, still not take a stand? Reluctant Interveners provides the most comprehensive answers yet to these confronting questions.
