Aaron Lazare, the author of On Apology, discusses his exploration and analysis of the power of apology, not just for individuals but also for groups and nations. For example, Abraham Lincoln's apology for slavery and the US government's apology to Japanese-Americans interned during World War II. In its review, Publishers Weekly wrote, "Lazare succeeds in showing that a true apology is among the most graceful and profound of all human exchanges. When it is sincere, it is not an end but a new beginning." Aaron Lazare is Chancellor and Dean, and professor of psychiatry, at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and senior psychiatrist at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
