Educated at Princeton, Trinity College, Dublin, and Columbia, Dippel combines solid, thorough research with a fluid, accessible style to bring to light the psychological, social, and economic factors which induce individuals to risk their lives for some greater, all-consuming goal. Of his reasons for choosing his topics, Dippel says, “I am intrigued by how people behave at critical historical moments, when their lives are really on the line. Too often, we make the mistake of superimposing our own values and outlooks on their decisions, rather than trying to understand them from their point of view. My books try to do just that.” Dippel experienced the upheavals of the Sixties, when many assumptions about American society were called into question, and men of draft-age had to decide whether or not to take part in a war they felt violated their principles.

Some soiling and sticker residue to DJ. Andrea Rita Dworkin (September 26, 1946 - April 9, 2005) was a US radical feminist philosopher, activist, and writer. She is best known for her analysis of pornography, although her feminist writings, beginning in 1974, span 40 years. They are found in a dozen solo works: nine books of non-fiction, two novels, and a collection of short stories. The central theme of Dworkin's work is re-evaluating Western society, culture, and politics. She does this through the prism of men's sexual violence against women in a patriarchal context. She wrote on a wide range of topics including the lives of Joan of Arc, Margaret Papandreou, and Nicole Brown Simpson; she analyzed the literature of Charlotte Brontë, Jean Rhys, Leo Tolstoy, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, and Isaac Bashevis Singer; she brought her own radical feminist perspective to her examination of subjects historically written or described from men's point of view, including fairy tales, homosexuality, lesbianism, virginity, antisemitism, the State of Israel, biological superiority, and racism. She interrogated premises underlying concepts such freedom of the press and civil liberties. While alive, two books were written with consideration and analysis of the body of her work. Andrea Dworkin, by Jeremy Mark Robinson, first published in 1994, and Without Apology: Andrea Dworkin's Art and Politics, by Cindy Jenefsky in 1998. An anthology of her work, Last Days at Hot Slit, was published in 2019. More
