Stiffed: The Betrayal of Modern Man by Susan Faludi

At the end of the millennium Susan Faludi, the bestselling author of BACKLASH, finds that men just as much as women are at the mercy of cultural forces that distort their lives and plague our culture. From industrial workers to modern war veterans, from astronauts to porn actors, STIFFED examiners men whose sense that they've lost jobs, skills, roles, wives and a secure future is only one symptom of a wider betrayal.

Uncovering the economic, cultural and political roots of the crisis Faludi also puts herself in their shoes, and gives real men in a tough world the chance to talk back.
