"“When Conscience Calls is a stunning tour de force on the concept of moral courage. Its brilliance lies in how Monroe moves to the heart of what psychodynamic psychology brings to the understanding of moral courage and its relation to ordinary human beings. Beautifully written and clear, When Conscience Calls reflects deep thought, careful writing, and great intelligence.” -- James Glass | University of Maryland ""Highly readable and of great interest, Monroe has written a book that addresses the issue of what constitutes moral courage across diverse settings. Both in its approach and content, it is a distinctive and original text that continues an impressive record of vital and engaging work from the author."" -- Paul Nesbitt-Larking | Huron University College “Monroe is the world’s authority on who, why, and how people do good things in the face of evil.

Presidents, Public Opinion, and Manipulation"""
