The Anatomy of Hate
What makes a man stand by and watch violence being done to another? What drives a family to attack neighbours whom they have lived with in peace for as long as they can remember? How does a woman react to her husband's brutal killing of a pregnant stranger on the street?
Attempting to understand what happened in Godhra in 2002 is to try and comprehend the extremes of human behaviour, the triggers and consequences of violence - and loyalty. And that is exactly what the author sets out to do in this brilliant and unforgettable narrative built on several years of research and interviews.
