Praise for Home Grown: 'Scaldingly describes the failures of police, counterterrorism agencies, social services and others. It also challenges our tendency to tidy our memories … Readers will enjoy Smith's feminist, polemical style … Powerfully written’ The Times ‘Two-thirds of U S gun deaths are suicides. We know, too, as Joan Smith has documented brilliantly in her book … that a lot of these shooters have a history of terrorising the women in their lives’ Guardian ‘Smith, a feminist and human rights campaigner, contends that if victims were believed, domestic abuse were better recognised … then numerous acts of terrorism … could and can be avoided’ Observer ‘The revelation of Joan Smith's book is the danger it poses. If we are scared of terrorism, she argues, the smart way to keep safe would be to pay much more attention to domestic violence … The similarities are so relentlessly consistent, the only puzzle is why it has taken this long for anyone to notice’ Sunday Times 'A chilling indictment and an urgent call to action. Joan Smith's meticulous, shocking book offers irrefutable evidence that many men who commit public atrocities have already practised their terrorism at home. Powerful … Smith proves again and again that this refusal to accept the evidence and recognise what domestic violence actually means as a force within society, also means that we are vulnerable to other types of male violence, including suicide bombings, terrorist attacks and mass shootings’ Irish Times
