Description
Friendless Childhoods Explain War offers a groundbreaking perspective on international conflict, drawing on the author's extensive work with UK's most dangerous offenders. He argues that all violence is born from childhood experiences that lead to adult anger, grievance and revenge.
The book challenges prevailing thought on violent conflict by highlighting the importance of building truth, trust and consent from an early age, rather than instilling seeds of hate that continue into adulthood. The author cites a range of sources, including Mein Kampf and George Orwell, to illustrate how negative childhood experiences can lead to unspeakable acts of violence.
Dr Cathy Wield, Author and Specialist Emergency Medicine Physician, praises the book as 'a cracking read', while Erwin James, Guardian Correspondent, notes that it is 'original and authentic'. This book distils a lifetime of investigation and analysis, providing exclusive clinical data on unique work with serial killers.
