Este libro inclasificable no es solo un sumario razonado de notas y cartas escritas por suicidas. Es también una aproximación al pulso que late bajo la decisión extrema de quitarse la vida. Porque ninguna nota redactada antes de un suicidio consumado se escribe en balde. Marc Caellas aplica el oído a la pared torácica de cada nota, como quien ausculta, para sondear el fondo humano de lo ahí escrito, sin juzgar, ni justificar, sin ensalzar. Y lo hace desde una perspectiva individual y social, poniendo de relieve la necesidad de conversar sobre el suicidio...

Selbstmörder, die zu Mördern werden - ein neues Thema von True Crime! War es ein Unfall, oder war es Mord?

In The Perversion of Virtue, leading suicide researcher Thomas Joiner explores the nature of murder-suicide and offers a unique new theory to explain this nearly unexplainable act: that murder-suicides always involve the wrongheaded invocation of one of four interpersonal virtues: mercy, justice, duty, and glory. The parent who murders his child and then himself seeks to save his child from a fatherless life of hardship; the wife who murders her husband and then herself seeks to right the wrongs he committed against her, and so on.

The unforgettable story of a military family that lost two sons - one to suicide and one in combat - and channeled their grief into fighting the armed forces’ suicide epidemic. Major General Mark Graham was a decorated two-star officer. His wife, Carol, was a teacher who held the family together. When their sons Kevin and Jeff die within nine months of each other - Kevin commits suicide and Jeff is killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq - Mark and Carol are astonished by the drastically different responses their sons’ deaths receive from the Army.

Worldwide, more people die by suicide than by murder, and many more are left behind to grieve.
