Review
"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."--Carol Gilligan, author of In a Different Voice
Product Description
David A. J. Richards examines the lives of five famous male crusaders and political leaders who resisted violence if possible and presented their causes more humanely. Disarming Manhood argues that Winston Churchill, William Lloyd Garrison, Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and Leo Tolstoy shared an alternative psychology, springing from the religious outlook of their mothers and other maternal figures, that enabled them to resist traditional male responses to challenges.
