Description

Richard Rechtman's Living in Death offers a new perspective on mass killers by exploring the everyday lives and motivations of those who carry out atrocities. This book descends into the ordinary world of people who execute hundreds every day, revealing that administering death is often just another job like any other. By examining the conditions under which such actions become routine, Rechtman sheds light on the complexities of genocide's perpetrators. Through a combination of archival research, psychological theory, and clinical work with refugees, Living in Death presents a compelling case for reframing our understanding of mass torture, rape, killing, and extermination.
