Description

Susan Gabori continues her series of compelling life stories with Blind Sacrifice—portraits of eight convicted murderers who have come face to face with themselves. In their own words, they reflect on their backgrounds, their personalities, and the motives for their actions. Gabori skillfully focuses on the seemingly unstoppable momentum of events leading to murder and the subsequent radical denouements. Blind Sacrifice contributes to our understanding of one of the oldest, most elemental acts of man.
