Böcker av Gideon Polya

Repetition of immense crimes against humanity is made less likely when the responsible societies acknowledge the crimes, apologize, make amends, and accept the injunction "never again to anyone". This book is concerned in part with the 2 century holocaust in British India that commenced with the Great Bengal Famine of 1769-1770 (10 million victims), concluded with the World War II Bengal Famine (6-7 million victims), and took hundreds of millions of lives in between through imposed deprivation. However, these events have been largely written out of history and removed from general perception. In the absence of effective global action, these horrors will be repeated on an unimaginably larger scale in the coming century.

BODY COUNT exposes the horrendous extent of the Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust that has totaled about 1.3 billion since 1950. Peace is the only way, but silence kills and silence is complicity. We can all do something immediately by informing others and through ethical dealings with people, corporations and countries contributing to the continuing Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust that kills 20,000 people DAILY!"Clearly inspired by the total devastation wrought by the Iraqi war, Body Count shows the deadly effects of war, occupation, and global inequality on the survival of the populations of Third World countries. ... Polya points out that lies have historically been used to justify the violence perpetrated by the dominant powers of the world, and the mainstream media have been more than willing to perpetuate the lies."― Dr. Jacqueline Carrigan "Dr. Gideon Polya documents that three to four times more Muslims have been killed by Washington's 21st century wars than there are Jews in Israel."― Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
