The Genocidal Mind offers unique and under-explored analyses of the Holocaust and the phenomenon of 20th century genocide within a sociological framework. With reference to contemporary scholarly work and using the latest in social structural, psychoanalytical, post-modern, chaos, and uncertainty theory, Dr. Porter attempts to explain why people dehumanize and kill other innocent people. The author also probes the deviant, sexual side of the Nazi party, including the mind of Adolf Hitler.

"Porter provides numerous examples of important research." - Canadian Research Knowledge Network, January 2009

"Jack Nusan Porter's The Genocidal Mind is a breath of fresh air brought to the plethora of Holocaust-related survey texts [in] the field of genocide studies...Well thought-out and more than solidly grounded in Holocaust sources...Porter then takes primary Holocaust inquiry to new spaces that heretofore have remained under-researched and represent the field's final frontier: the politics of sexual orientation genocide and the sexology of genocidaires." - The Armenian Weekly, Volume 74, Issue 18
