She has now come up with another way to spread the word, a quiz (or bribery as she calls it):
I’m not ashamed to use bribery to get people to read my posts. This giveway is an example of that. My last post was about the book Not On Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond by Don Cheadle. This book is an excellent resource to use as a starting guide to figure out what in the world we can do to make a difference in Darfur. I really want everybody to take time out and read that post. Therefore, the “Yes, I Resort to Bribery” giveaway.To enter the book-giveaway you have to answer ten very easy questions about genocide, the answers of which can all be found in Natasha's review of Not On Our Watch. The deadline is tomorrow (July 31st), so you'll have to be quick if you want to enter. Natasha will announce the winners on August 1.I will be giving away two books each to four winners!
How to enter: I’ve come up with a little quiz for you to take based upon my Not On Our Watch post.
Go here for more details and if you want to participate.

hey..came to your blog from a comment that you left in natasha's blog and i enjoyed reading your blog!
un saluto da scorzè venezia, ciao
I am in the middle of reading Robert Fisk's latest book and have read with interest his articles about the Armenian genocide and Turkey's denial of the genocide. I must visit the genocide museum here in Jerusalem soon. Isn't it terrible how history just repeats itself over and over again. Why can humanity not learn from its mistakes?
Vika, I read Robert Fisk's book last year. It took me about six months of reading it in bits and pieces, picking up and putting down again but I did find it very worthwhile.
I keep asking myself the same question over and over again. I just finished Gulag: A History by Anne Applebaum and I don't know how often I asked myself the same question: why are human being so cruel to each other? Where does that come from? And why does it happen again and again and again?
