</pre><i>"This is an extraordinary book: brilliant, haunting and
uniquely important. Almost 40 years ago a president read a best seller,
and the world avoided a holocaust. I like to think that some of the
leaders and followers of tomorrow will read 'Humanity.' -<b>Steven
Pinker<br><br>
</b><a name="03000871525390"></a>"Humanity is a . . . contribution
to the immense labor of understanding some of the worst experiences
humankind has ever had." -<b> George
Scialabba<a name="03000871525390"></a>, Boston Globe<br>
<br>
</b>"There is much that is excellent in Humanity, especially
Glover's lucid summary of the monstrosities of
Stalinism--indispensable." -<b>Shashi Tharoor, Los Angeles
Times<br><br>
