Roots of Violence in the U.S. Culture

Why is there an epidemic of violence in this country? In this book, Alain J. Richard, who has spent the last 25 years reflecting upon the violent tendencies of the U.S., offers a theory: Ever since colonists first set foot upon these shores, this culture has been an invasive one. Working from this fact, "Roots of Violence" exposes the origins and current causes of the underlying explosive rage pervasive in American culture.
