    Author and former federal prosecutor Henry “Hank” Kopel of New Haven tells us about his book War on Hate: How to Stop Genocide, Fight Terrorism, and Defend Freedom.

    Could Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine have been predicted — and prevented? What really causes horrific outbreaks of violence? Hank Kopel offers a fresh, contrarian perspective that refutes widely held views as to root causes of terrorism and genocide.

    He discusses national security, counterterrorism, atrocity prevention, and how the Middle East became the world’s leading incubator of terrorism and related violence — and how to change that.
