Robert Jay Lifton's Life of Listening
August 09, 2011 Tuesday AT 3PM CT

 
 

In his new memoir, psycho-historian Robert Jay Lifton says that he's spent most of his life listening. From talking to victims of Chinese thought reform, to Japanese survivors of Hiroshima, to Nazi doctors, he bore witness to some of the 20th century’s darkest moments and responded with hope and activism.
