Rape Hate: Sex & Violence in War & Peace - Paperback

From the harrowing fate of pioneer women captured by Indians on the plains of America to World War Two in Europe and the greatest mass rape in human history . . . from the wholesale sexual assault on Japanese women and children by Allied occupation troops to the tragic story of a young wife and mother snatched from her Florida home in broad daylight, then raped, murdered and buried like garbage . . . as the title suggests, Rape Hate is an up-close and personal look at the scourge of modern times. From one of America's foremost writers, this book offers a rare "you-are-there" view of hate and lust and how, when combined, these two emotions often lead to murderous sexual violence both during and after war. Like the vicious crime it describes, Rape Hate is a riveting account of shocking violence, written in a brutally honest and unflinching fashion.
