Christopher Berry-Dee, criminologist and bestselling author of
books about the serial killers Aileen Wuornos and Joanne Dennehy,
turns his uncompromising gaze upon women who not only kill, but
kill repeatedly. Because female murderers, and especially serial
murderers, are so rare compared with their male counterparts, this
new study will surprise as well as shock, particularly in the cases
of women like Beverley Allitt, who kill children, and Janie Lou
Gibbs, who killed her three sons and a grandson, as well as her
husband. Here too are women who kill under the influence of their
male partners, such as Myra Hindley and Rosemary West, and whose
lack of remorse for their actions is nothing short of chilling. But
the author also turns his forensic gaze on female killers who were
themselves victims, like Aileen Wuornos, whose killing spree, for
which she was executed, can be traced directly to her treatment at
the hands of men. Christopher Berry-Dee has no equal as the author
of hard-hitting studies of the killers who often walk among us
undetected for many years, and who in so many cases seem to be
acting entirely against their natures.

Told for the first time from their perspective, the story of
children who survived the chaos and trauma of the Holocaust How can
we make sense of our lives when we do not know where we come from?
This was a pressing question for the youngest survivors of the
Holocaust, whose prewar memories were vague or nonexistent. In this
beautifully written account, Rebecca Clifford follows the lives of
one hundred Jewish children out of the ruins of conflict through
their adulthood and into old age. Drawing on archives and
interviews, Clifford charts the experiences of these child
survivors and those who cared for them-as well as those who studied
them, such as Anna Freud. Survivors explores the aftermath of the
Holocaust in the long term, and reveals how these children-often
branded "the lucky ones"-had to struggle to be able to call
themselves "survivors" at all. Challenging our assumptions about
trauma, Clifford's powerful and surprising narrative helps us
understand what it was like living after, and living with,
childhoods marked by rupture and loss.
