  The Demon Lover is a groundbreaking work on the psychological and political roots of terrorism by award-winning writer Robin Morgan. In the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US, she has updated the book with a new introduction and afterword covering the disaster. In the afterword, 'Letters from Ground Zero', Morgan offers her eyewitness account of the physical and emotional devastation caused by the assault on New York's World Trade Center and the global struggle in its aftermath. First published in 1989, The Demon Lover is now more timely than ever, and a landmark work of investigative journalism. Morgan examines the core connection between patriarchal societies and the inevitability of terrorism, and how a society's attitudes to its women is a sure indication of its capacity for terrorism. In her final chapter, 'Beyond Terror', she sets forth a compelling vision of hope for the future.
