Eye for an Eye Hardcover - 2005

by William Ian Miller

Miller presents an original meditation on the concept of "pay back." His unique theory of justice offers redemption via retaliation. It espouses the view that revenge is a highly structured phenomenon that requires a deep commitment to balance in order to get even in a strict but fair manner.
