Reviews

I am impressed, especially by psychological insights that partly arise from psychoanalysis, and also from a kind of astute application of sociology. Esman's ideas and documentation really do help an understanding of the bond between individual craziness and craziness that becomes a general cultural bond, and it will be difficult for me to look at these things without remembering what the author has to say. -- Stephen Koch, author of Hitler's Pawn: The Boy Assassin and the Holocaust and Double Lives: Spies and Writers in the Secret Soviet War of Ideas Against the West --Stephen Koch Esman's gorgeously written book maps with precision the subterranean corridors between domestic abuse and terrorism. A must-read for anyone interested in understanding--or taming--the darker corners of the human psyche. --Michael Noer, executive editor of Forbes--Michael Noer (3/2/2020 12:00:00 AM) There has never been a book about terrorism quite like this. In Rage Abigail R. Esman dares to expose the raw nerves that link domestic abuse and mass murder. The connections she makes are scholarly sound, deeply personal, and have an emotional resonance that many readers will find unforgettable. --Christopher Dickey, world news editor for the Daily Beast and author of Securing the City: Inside America's Best Counterterror Force-the NYPD--Christopher Dickey (3/2/2020 12:00:00 AM)

"""Rage: Narcissism, Patriarchy, and the Culture of Terrorism by Abigail R. Esman is gripping, fast paced, deeply personal, and thoroughly shreds social decorum. Esman, a contributor to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, lays bare the personal traits and domestic abuse that can be used to forecast radicalization and accurately assess intent to commit acts of terrorism.""—Keri Douglas, The Algemeiner ""Erudite, insightful, alarming, recognizable, informative, timely and timeless, Rage: Narcissism, Patriarchy, and the Culture of Terrorism is a fully absorbing read and an invaluable contribution to our on-going dialogue with respect to the kinds of issues that are tearing our families and our country apart with the rising tide of American home-grown radicalization leading to insurrectionist attacks on democracy itself. Deserving of as wide a readership as possible, Rage: Narcissism, Patriarchy, and the Culture of Terrorism is especially and unreservedly recommended for community, college, and university library collections. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, it should be noted for the personal reading lists of students, academia, political activists, governmental policy makers, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject.""—Mary Cowper, Midwest Book Review “Esman’s gorgeously written book maps with precision the subterranean corridors between domestic abuse and terrorism.
