Description

IN THIS SKILLFULLY WROUGHT, POWERFUL STUDY, A TERRORISM EXPERT, NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER (THE ULTIMATE TERRORISTS), AND LECTURER AT HARVARD, RETURNS TO A DEFINITIVE EPISODE OF TERROR IN HER OWN EARLY LIFE AND TRACES ITS GRIM, DAMAGING RAMIFICATIONS.

HAVING GROWN UP IN CONCORD, MASS., IN 1973, STERN, THEN 15, AND HER SISTER, A YEAR YOUNGER, WERE FORCIBLY RAPED AT GUNPOINT BY AN UNKNOWN INTRUDER; WHEN THE POLICE REOPENED THE CASE IN 2006, STERN WAS COMPELLED TO CONFRONT THE DEVASTATING EXPERIENCE.

THE POLICE INITIALLY TIED THE CASE TO A LOCAL SERIAL RAPIST, WHO SERVED 18 YEARS IN PRISON BEFORE HANGING HIMSELF.

STERN`S PAINFUL JOURNEY TAKES HER BACK TO THE TRAUMATIC AFTERSHOCKS OF THE RAPE, WHEN SHE BEGAN TO AFFECT A STERN, HARD VENEER NOT UNLIKE THE STIFF-UPPER-LIP APPROACH TO SURVIVAL HER OWN GERMAN-BORN JEWISH FATHER HAD ASSUMED AFTER HIS CHILDHOOD YEARS LIVING THROUGH NAZI PERSECUTION.

COVERING UP HER DEEP-SEATED SENSE OF SHAME WITH ENTRENCHED SILENCE, STERN HAD A CLASSIC POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER-WHICH SHE WAS ONLY ABLE TO RECOGNIZE AFTER HER OWN WORK INTERVIEWING TERRORISTS.

STERN`S WORK IS A STRONG, CLEAR-EYED, ELUCIDATING STUDY OF THE PROFOUND REVERBERATIONS OF TRAUMA. फरारी अस महणणारी जसिकासटरन,आतरराषटरीयखयाती ची दहशतवादतजजञ आणि विरोधाभास असाकी, हीच दहशत तिला सवत:ला अगदी कोवळयावयात अनभवावी लागली - गनपॉइटवर कललया बलातकाराचया रपान! तीनहन अधिकत पयादहशती ची वदना ती नाकारत राहिली; एका करतवयदकष पोलीस ऑफिसरन तिची कस पनहा हातात घईपरयत. एकीकड झऊएची लकषण (आघातोततरतणावविकती) तर दसरीकड करततवाची उच भरारी; अशा दोन पातळया वर तिच जीवनपढ जात राहिल. पण तिचयातलया सशोधकान आपलया बलातका-याचा अभयास करणयाची चालन आलली ही सधी वाया नाही घालवली. आपला गनहगार बरायनबीट,याचया मितरपरिवाराचया तिन मलाखती घतलया.बरायनबीट जिथ राहत होता त घर ती बघन आली. इतवचनाहीतर सवत:च कटब,सवत:च मन याच परिशीलन तिन कल आणि तयातन साकारल ह पसतक... एका धाडसी विषया चातितकाच मनमोकळा आढावाघणार ह पसतक मनाचया अथाग डोहात डोकावणयाची जिजञासा असणा-या परतयक वाचकासाठी! पण, लखिका तवढयावरच थाबत नाही. जाता-जाता ती सावधतचा इशाराही दत. बलातकारा सारखया अतयत घणासपद गनहयाला समाज पटकन विसरन जातो; तया गनहयाचया गाभीरयाचा असवीकार करतो आणि तय
