The unremitting horror of the consequences of violent crime has
never been depicted with such relentless honesty and anger as in
"The Victim's Song". Eric Kaminsky, a twenty-two-year-old music
student was robbed, stabbed in the back, and then thrown on the
tracks of a New York City subway, where he died. In this book,
Professor Alice R. Kaminsky, Eric's mother, gives a powerful
account of this senseless tragedy. She describes the continuing
pain she suffers from the loss of her only child and exposes the
inadequacies of our flawed criminal justice system in her
discussion of the trial of his murderers. This is a shocking book
because the author expresses her anger honestly and without
offering any of the palliatives of the bereavement books. No one
who reads "The Victim's Song" will ever forget the torment
experienced by the victims of crime in our increasingly violent
society. Nor will anyone who reads "The Victim's Song" ever forget
Eric Kaminsky.
