Its focus is on the 1978 tragic death of Alfred University student Chuck Stenzel, but also includes episodes of hazings in high schools and other Universities, and hazing still allowed in our military. (Be aware - there is a description of sadistic and sexual torture of a US Coast Guard seaman by ...

No Strategy, Just Brief Bios of Famous Football Legends
I bought this out of print book from one of the Amazon.Com used book vendors thinking that I didn't have much to lose at such a cheap price. Maybe it's just me but when I see a football book with a title that begins with "STRATEGIES OF," I automatically assume the book will be about playcalling and other X's and O's that helped the great ones win so often. If that's what you think you're ...

Decent Read
Mr. Nuewer's book is extremely informative. I was looking for a book that had some examples and stories of hazing and their outcomes to see what the college life and fraternity life was really like and was caught a bit offguard to find that it was more a documentary novel about a few incidents and the legal ramifications thereof. He does a lot of legal discussions. It's not a terrible book by ...

Such an important topic!
Hazing is an often neglected but important topic that deserves the serious treatment given by author. A victim and perpetuator of hazing himself, Nuwer depicts hazing as a "tradition of deceit," and a series of dangerous acts designed to foster bonding and acceptance.

An important contribution and a must read.
Having brought attention to the dangers of hazing in his first book Broken Pledges, Hank Nuwer expands on this work with Wrongs of Passage and makes another outstanding contribution to the literature on hazing. He elucidates the dangers of hazing from many angles, and while coining the term "greekthink," takes an important step in describing the often elusive dynamics which enable hazing to ...
