The Devils and The Damned

"The Devils and The Damned' is a gripping war story, suspenseful and thrilling, anchored in realism. The leaders of the opposing forces are Schultz, a death-row prisoner who is also the Regional Commander of a white supremacist organization 'Aryan Vision', and Karcher, the prison warden. The war is fought in the homes, streets, canyons, mountain tops, and the prison. In the midst of this mayhem emerge Satya, the widow of a prison psychiatrist and Haney, a onetime intellectual AV operative, who refuse to kill and are willing to die without a fight. The iconoclastic novel asserts that man is essentially a violent creature; that all wars are between evil and evil; that whoever wins just declares himself to be good; that those who try to promote peace are promptly crushed by the warmongers. Yet, a case is made for non-violence, because it is the only hope for the mankind. Written by a prison psychologist, the novel is truthful although fictionalized.
