Toadstool Bookshop Reading: Dr. Waller Discusses Confronting Evil

Keene State’s Cohen Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies Dr. Jim Waller will be at the Toadstool Bookshop in Peterborough, N.H., at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 8th, to discuss his latest book, Confronting Evil: Engaging Our Responsibility to Prevent Genocide.

A look at such places as South Sudan, Burma, Syria, the Central African Republic, Burundi, Iraq, and territory under ISIS control proves that genocide still threatens many people around the world, and Dr. Waller’s work offers real, concrete solutions to this atrocity. “The point of the book is to remind us that genocide prevention can occur at all phases of the conflict cycle — before, during, and after crisis,” he said.
