Masculine codes of honor and dominance often are expressed in acts of violence, including war and terrorism.

Trade Review
Disarming Manhood is one of the most important books of our time. David Richards brings a novelist’s eye and a psychologist’s questions to the lives of men who have notably challenged the linkages between manhood and violence. He traces the roots of their resistance to a close relationship with a loved mother or maternal caretaker, whose ethical voice they carry inside them. This is a book for all mothers of sons—for everyone invested in human survival. * author of In a Different Voice and The Birth of Pleasure *
“Professor Richards offers an illuminating study about how … traditional beliefs can be disarmed to produce new, democratic manhood.” * International Journal of Intelligence Ethics *
