"Ruxton turned torture and brainwashing inside out. He had to. He was sentenced to death. But under the plan 'Future Victory,' his execution would be deferred for two years, while he was 'taught' to think as his enemies did. To resist his tormentors was futile. His only chance for survival was to maintain control of his own mind... whatever the price. And soon, he was engaged in a brutal psychological duel between captive and ruthless captor... until he realized the frightening similarity between himself and the woman who held is life in her hands."--Pg.

Mad Blood Stirring
Author: Daemon Fairless
Publisher: Random House Canada
ISBN: 0345812948
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
With a rare clarity and fearless honesty, journalist Daemon Fairless tackles the horrors and compulsions of male violence from the perspective of someone who struggles with violent impulses himself, creating a non-fiction masterpiece with the narrative power of novels such as Fight Club and A History of Violence. A man, no matter how civilized, is still an animal--and sometimes a dangerous one. Men are responsible for the lion's share of assault, rape, murder and warfare. Conventional wisdom chalks this up to socialization, that men are taught to be violent. And they are. But there's more to it. Violence is a dangerous desire--a set of powerful and inherent emotions we are loath to own up to. And so there remains a hidden geography to male violence--an inner ecosystem of rage, dominance, blood-lust, insecurity and bravado--yet to be mapped. Mad Blood Stirring is journalist Daemon Fairless's riveting first-person travelogue through this territory as he seeks to understand the inner lives of violent men and, ultimately, himself.

Violent Men, Violent Couples
Author: Anson D. Shupe
Publisher: Free Press
ISBN:
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
This book profiles the characteristics and causes of violence between husbands and wives, then describes a systems approach for counselling spouse abusers. The research is based on a sample of 241 known violent men, supplemented with information on 542 others. The analysis considers the men's motives, their social circumstances, their demography, and their feelings about the victims and their own violence. Similar information, obtained from a literature review, is presented for violent wives. Among the causative factors identified are stress, previous learning, and traumatic childhood experiences. The study illuminates the culture of male violence, exploring why violence in active military families is three times as severe as that in civilian families and the fact that religion is an underused resource for addressing the problem. The systems approach to counselling spouse abusers focuses on both persons in a violent relationship and emphasizes multiple causes. The treatment mode is matched to the severity and extent of violence as well as the context in which the violence occurs. (NCJRS, modified).
