Disposable: An Unflinching Anatomy of Mass Atrocity, from the Slave Hold to the Gas Chamber to the Boarding School

Every mass atrocity in human history was preceded by a period in which the victims were defined as less than human. That definition was constructed, taught, enforced, and always—always—a lie.

This book traces that lie across centuries, from the slave hold to the gas chamber to the boarding school. The methods change. The tools change. The justifications change. The logic does not: some lives are worth less than others. Some people can be used, discarded, erased.

What you will find inside:

Cargo – The slave trade (12.5 million loaded onto ships; 1.8–2.4 million dead in transit)
Specimen – Nazi doctors, Unit 731, Tuskegee, MK-Ultra, forced sterilization
Hunger – The Holodomor (3.5–5 million dead), Biafra (1–3 million), Gaza (72,700+)
Exile – Armenian Genocide (1.5 million), Trail of Tears, Rohingya, Nubian displacement
Erasure – Boarding schools (4,000+ documented dead), destroyed churches, forbidden languages
Accounting – Nuremberg, the ICJ, the ICC, the loopholes, the reckoning

This book does not flinch. It does not spare you. The people documented in these pages did not have the luxury of looking away. Neither should you.

The dead have been waiting. Turn the page when you are ready.
