Death by Government by R. J. Rummel Stalin was worse far worse than Hitler. He killed hundreds of millions of his own people. The above book available at Amazon details the killing of people by government. The following is a review. Reviewer: lurnerjr (see more about me) from Georgia, United States It is not posible to say how deeply this book has affected the way I think about my life, the politicians I vote for, and the political views I hold or condemn. In high school I saw a black and white documentary on the Holocaust. I was revolted by it! I was shocked at how cruel humans could be towards others. Having read Dr. Rummel's book and seeing how widespread and common government murder of civilians is was almost more than I could handle. Why these acts of government mass murder are not taught or even refered to in school or college is a mystery to me. I guess governments are embarassed by it? The knowledge that not only is the savagery documented in the book possible, but prevalent is very disturbing. There is no way I could say this book is a pleasure to read, but I couldn't hardly put it down til I was finished. I've told several friends about it and loaned it to my brother, who has loaned it to a friend of his. You'll read this book, you'll discuss, you'll loan it friends, so its definitely worth your money. I feel the lesson's I've learned reading this book have made those many millions of lost lives a little less wasted. Rummel has done a great service to those many victims by preventing their lives and deaths from being forgotten
