The soldiers who occupied Germany after the Second World War were not only liberators: they also brought with them a new threat, as women throughout the country became victims of sexual violence. In this disturbing and carefully researched book, the historian Miriam Gebhardt reveals for the first time the scale of this human tragedy, which continued long after the hostilities had ended.

Discussion in recent years of the rape of German women committed at the end of the war has focused almost exclusively on the crimes committed by Soviet soldiers, but Gebhardt shows that this picture...

On January 14, 1806, Sidney Hanson was raped by John Deskins on a rough gravel path in the woods in Tazewell County, Virginia. In the early nineteenth century, trials for rape were rare.

Yet the events on that fateful day in 1806 would be the exception.

In A Rape in the Early Republic, Randal L. Hall reproduces the complete trial testimony of Alexander Smyth, the prosecutor for Hanson's trial. Smyth's detailed record...

‘Women are often the worst affected by militarisation but their stories rarely get heard. Garrisoned Minds, which brings together insights and analysis from some of the major conflict zones of South Asia, is a welcome and valuable corrective, one which must be read by both policy-makers and the public.’

For those new to the subject, her book provides a readable account of a complex area, and for the more experienced...

Why in the world, one might ask, would a Player write a book about himself and uncover his secret world of seduction and deception?

Are crimes of the heart any less criminal in nature than crimes against society?  Don’t the perpetrators use the same means to commit offenses against their unknowing victims?  Doesn’t their reasoning and justification of such crimes parallel the criminal mindset? When does society have a right to stand up and punish one of its members for hurting another person?

It can be proven that many “real” crimes are...
