Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, BTK, The Son of Sam - all of these names strike fear in the heart of any decent human being. Here, Fred Rosen tracks down the survivors of some of the most feared and reviled humans to ever live, and for the first time, brings their stories together in this inspiring collection. These are people who faced evil head on (in the form of Derrick Todd Lee, Dennis Rader, Bobby Joe Long, Ted Bundy, Richard Speck, Jeffrey Dahmer, and David Berkowitz) and lived to tell the world their story and to help bring these men to justice. Rosen's exhaustive investigation into the unique circumstances and iron will that allowed each of the victims to escape death is captivating and disturbing but ultimately redemptive and inspiring. These are people who fully understand the true meaning of "There But For The Grace Of God", and true crime readers and fans of inspirational stories of survival and willpower will welcome this unique book.
