El porqué de la violencia indiscriminada contra víctimas inocentes constituye todavía un enigma. Resulta incuestionable que es parte de la condición humana, aunque no esté presente en nuestra vida cotidiana. Intentamos tranquilizarnos pensando que es algo excepcional, una anomalía estadística. Pero ¿y si estuviéramos equivocados? El problema en realidad radica no en que se hayan dado ocasionalmente estos fenómenos, ni siquiera en el hecho de que hayan sido socialmente aceptables, sino en su ubicuidad en la historia humana.Este libro es una historia de la violencia, la opresión y la crueldad socialmente aceptada contra víctimas desarmadas que no constituían una amenaza directa para el agresor. Trata, en definitiva, de dar una nueva respuesta a una vieja pregunta: en qué medida el nacimiento del Estado, de las instituciones y de la propia civilización han influido en la historia del sufrimiento del ser humano. 10
