It may have been the first edition. It's probably time to revisit.

These are the two books I'm reading at the moment (sort of going back and forth):

The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty

Less Than Human: We We Demean, Enslave, and Exterminate Others

At the bottom of this webpage is a good list of resources to choose from.

After hearing about this "commission" the next on my list is:

Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong.
