This book offers an explosive look at violence in America—why it is so prevalent, and what and who are responsible. Courtwright takes the long view of his subject, developing the historical pattern of violence and disorder in this country. Where there is violent and disorderly behavior, he shows, there are plenty of men, largely young and single.
