Marshall Alcorn, The George Washington University 'Through fascinating case studies, Trauma and Forgiveness challenges our most basic assumptions. Alford questions whether the experience of trauma is, as many believe, inaccessible to those traumatized or whether such experiences might constitute an ethical knowledge to which the traumatized are caught in an unwanted attachment.' Paul Hoggett, University of the West of England 'This book is remarkably successful in distilling and presenting the debate and its many entangled strands. It takes us on a journey through the many contemporary writings on forgiveness of philosophers, psychologists and contemporary historical commentators.' R. D.
