Fury On Earth

“Interweaving a thorough examination of Reich’s psychiatric theories and techniques, scientific experiments and grandiose claims, with his stormy person life and deteriorating mental balance, [Sharaf] achieves an impressive portrait of a complicated, tragic figure. . . . His work is a psycho-biography on the order of Erikson’s studies of Luther and Gandhi, for he analyzes Reich’s achievements in light of his personal conflicts, achieving a unified portrait of a highly complex innovator.”–Los Angeles Times

“What is amazing is that Sharaf has managed to turn a definitive biography into such absolutely compulsive reading.”–Colin Wilson, author of The Quest for Wilhelm Reich
