They Choose Violence rejects all expectations of race, gender, and justice. Author Sheldon Allen argues that society has normalized aggression and vengeance as the only "acceptable" responses to conflict, moving far past civility toward a "subterranean" desire for retaliation. The book isn't a sermon; it’s an observation of what happens when violence is fully embraced. Allen challenges readers of every identity to examine their own comfort with brutality and the dark consequences of escalation. It’s a wild, unpredictable ride that forces you to question your own allegiances.
