The Genocidal Mentality: Nazi Holocaust and Nuclear Threat (1991) By Robert Jay Lifton & Eric Markusen
 
Jay Lifton is a practitioner of 'psycho-history', that is, that much of history needs explaining in psychological terms. In this book he and Markusen investigate why, during the 20th century, governments around the world have adopted a system of security, based on nuclear weapons, in which we manage to conceal from ourselves the horror of what we are preparing to do - we accept the prospect of genocide. As necessary and relevant today as when it was written.
