A quick and enlightening read

I curiously picked it up in the library last night and finished in a few hours. It is really well researched and smoothly written. I really enjoyed all the quotes it is filled with and the pictures are well chosen.

Essential Reading

Marjorie Spiegel has captured the essence of violence - domination and control. She presents an accurate portrayal and case that violence towards non-human animals holds the key and ultimate solution to the creation of a violencefree society. Her ideas and images run deep and should be required reading in our schools and homes. This brief, but to the point manuscript speaks volumes to the pain and suffering we have created as a result of so called human progress.

powerful comparison of violence against humans and animals

THE DREADED COMPARISON provocatively presents the first in-depth exploration of the similarities between the violence humans have wrought against other humans, and our culture's treatment of non-human animals. Marjorie Spiegel's examination of power and the source of oppressive behavior is essential reading for anyone interested in psychology, history, African-American studies, or animals. This highly original book is at once chilling and enlightening, and vitally important to our efforts to understand the roots of individual and societal violence.

Two difficult subjects handled with care
