"Denial is one of the most important books I have read in a
decade....Brave, life-changing, and gripping as a thriller....A tour de
force."
--Naomi Wolf
One of the world's foremost experts on terrorism and post-traumatic
stress disorder, Jessica Stern has subtitled her book Denial, "A
Memoir of Terror." A brave and astonishingly frank examination of her
own unsolved rape at the age of fifteen, Denial investigates how the
rape and its aftermath came to shape Stern's future and her work. The
author of the New York Times Notable Book Terror in the Name of God,
Jessica Stern brilliantly explores the nature of evil in an
extraordinary volume that Louise Richardson, author of What Terrorists
Want, calls, "Memorable, powerful and deeply courageous...a riveting
read."
