Praise for John Hales:
"Love, War and Deer Hunting, a dense and rich essay, weaves
many weighty philosophical, sociocultural and psychological issues
into its fabric. In this single piece we find a story of coming of
age, masculine rights of passage, the influence of culture on
personality, the psychological mechanisms of denial and
rationalization, the unity of life, the issue of personal
responsibility, and a fundamental struggle of the human condition
-- finding a balance between losing and maintaining control."
