Predatory Nation

“How many more Americans would you have killed if you didn’t enlist and fight in combat?” the President asked Bill. “Every leader from every civilization since time began uses god, guns, and gut philosophies to recruit their best and their worst without prejudice.” 

Wondering about those who use murder as a device to survive? Dennis J. Stevens a knowledgeable criminologist in his new book, traces Bill Rosen through Chicago’s youth gangs and black power brokers.  Bill learns the art of warfare through Vietnam to Chicago’s Democratic National Convention, where the cops’ show of violence is a cure-all. Rosen applies his expertise to corporate America and national politics. Killing is a way up and out of genetic grief. It’s a story that begins with street gang manipulation and political agendas and ends as a story about relationships and betrayed love.
