On the one hand, violence is becoming much more entrenched in our social life than people are willing to believe. On the other hand, it is in our power eventually to conquer and abolish it." His book is a shocking, unsparing analysis of violence in all its aspects, which poses the great question before mankind. Can we abolish violence without violence?" ***For concrete facts about the climate of violence, this distinguished psychiatrist and social critic draws on sociology, criminology, history, art and literature, current events, and his own case files. --- ***One of his chief concerns is the disastrous effect on Americans of all ages of constant exposure to violence, from the "kill toys" of the nursery to mass media mayhem via crime comics and television. --- ***Nothing in the whole frightful account of the prevalence of human violence is omitted - the "battered baby" syndrome, the role of alcohol, the commercial disrespect for human life, the cruelties behind fascism, colonialism, and racism. But Dr. Wertham also assesses the steps ahead, admittedly small, that we are making, one of the most important being the civil rights movement, which has "restored the dignity of indignation". And he says in conclusion: "The problem is not philosophically abstract man against abstract violence; it is man against man. Violence is a matter of the relations between people.' [Quote from inside front and rear of dustwrapper blurb] ***'A penetrating study of the seeds of violence ---controversial and provocative.' Dr. Horace King, Speaker of the House of Commons. ***'A remarkable new study--- the wide range of matters that Dr. Wertham brings to it are of first-hand importance' [Clarence B. Farrar, M.D., editor emeritus, American Journal of Psychiatry] ***First impression of the first UK edition, hard to find in its original dustwrapper in nice condition.
