Richard A. Koenigsberg: Director of the Library of Social Science, Koenigsberg has pioneered the psychological study of political violence. His first book, Hitler’s Ideology, developed a method for studying ideology through analysis of the language of political leaders. His most recent book, Nations Have the Right to Kill, presents his theory on the sacrificial meaning of war and genocide.
