All the enemies of the human spirit are arrayed here as vividly, as warningly as in a medieval morality play. Those who believe that to unmask the enemy is a first step toward confounding him will find this a practical as well as a moral book." -- Melvin Maddocks, The Christian Science MonitorAbout the Author

Laing studied medicine at the University of Glasgow. He died in 1989,
