Denial

“ *Denial* is one of the most important books I have read in a decade....Brave, life-changing, and gripping as a thriller….A tour de force.”

—Naomi Wolf

One of the world’s foremost experts on terrorism and post-traumatic stress disorder, Jessica Stern has subtitled her book *Denial* , “A Memoir of Terror.” A brave and astonishingly frank examination of her own unsolved rape at the age of fifteen, *Denial* investigates how the rape and its aftermath came to shape Stern’s future and her work. The author of the *New York Times* Notable Book *Terror in the Name of God,* Jessica Stern brilliantly explores the nature of evil in an extraordinary volume that Louise Richardson, author of *What Terrorists Want,* calls, “Memorable, powerful and deeply courageous…a riveting read.”
