In Case of Genocide – Break Glass: How we end Genocidal Indifference.

BOOK REVIEWS

“In a word, the book is stunning. It is extremely well written. It has a narrative force that carries the reader along inexorably. O’Brien is a fine storyteller. The book has a moral force that is compelling. His genocide prevention methodology in the appendices sets forth the practical way to do early warning better than any book written so far. It is sure to be a best seller.”    – Dr. Gregory Stanton, Founder, Genocide Watch.

“Wow. To the best of my knowledge, O’Brien’s book is the most advanced that I have seen, first, in its simplicity, ease, and readability. Second, for the outstandingly clear and precise methodology for getting information about genocidal acts out to the world press, and for its effective methods for reaching U.S. government and U.N. officials. It's real stuff.  It is way ahead of the whole bunch of us who have been writing and talking about intervention.  It is written in a down to earth style describing recognizable human beings including their (and his) nuanced speech.  It is a dramatic adventure story of a race to intervene to stop an actual ongoing genocidal massacre.  He displays an unusual talent in respect to the topic of genocide prevention. Indeed, bravo!”  – Israel W. Charny  Executive Director, Institute on the Holocaust and Genocide,    Jerusalem. ‘Outstanding Academic Book of the Year.’ A.L.A.  

“Richard O’Brien’s book entitled “In Case of Genocide – Break Glass” is a riveting book that demonstrates what a small group of dedicated people can do to address a problem largely ignored by governments across the world. This is a must-read for those of us who believe that individual action can make a difference.”

– U.S Ambassador John McDonald

“Powerful. Oh My Sweet Jesus, that is dark and powerful. The imagery is straight out of Dante’s Inferno. Only it happened. It reads like a Dan Brown novel. After reading this I felt physically weakened, as though the very light inside my body shrunk in learning of these atrocities and reading first-hand descriptions.”

– Sonia, online review.

I never understood why the Turkish government didn't just come out and admit the Ottoman Empire wiped out my people, the Armenians. But denials aside, here are some of the handwritten orders for genocide written by one of the ruling troika to kill Armenian ,women and children. As I had the Italian translation of the original translated into English the Italian translator stopped typing and looked at me pale, 'Do you realize what this is?' I said I think so, what is it? She said, 'This is an actual order for the genocide of the Armenian people.' So much for denials.
