One reason the current wave of hate against Asian Americans strikes a deep chord with me is because for many years during my career as an analyst for the federal government, I followed civil wars, genocides, and mass atrocities. For years I watched other countries weaken and fall apart under waves of baseless propaganda, generally campaigns run by authoritarian thugs who sought to undermine a society by generating an irrational fear of a scapegoat, an “other.”
From the afterword.
