From Albert Speer's complicity in Nazi barbarism to Royal Dutch Shell's role in the murders of the Nigerian activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and the rest of the Ogoni Nine, Gretton probes the depths of the figure \"who, by giving orders, uses paper or a phone or a computer to kill, instead of a gun.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver the past twenty years, Gretton has interviewed survivors and perpetrators, and pored over archives and thousands of pages of testimony. His insight into the psychology of the desk killer is contextualized by the journey he took to penetrate it. Woven into the narrative are his contemplative interludes--perspectives gleaned during walks in the woods, reminiscences about a lost love, and considerations of timeless moral conundrums. The result is a genre-bending work steeped as much in personal reflection as it is in literature and historical and psychological illumination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA synthesis of history, reportage, and memoir, \u003ci\u003eI You We Them\u003c\/i\u003e is the first volume of a groundbreaking journal of discovery that bears witness to and reckons with the largest and most pressing questions before humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Gretton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250798639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250798633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 2.18d","brand":"Dan Gretton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043409588479,"sku":"9781250798633","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adb1b9e7-226a-4fd6-99eb-bb0d376a4c19.jpg?v=1684966982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-you-we-them-dan-gretton-9781250798633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
