The Seductiveness of Virtue
John J. Fitzgerald addresses here one of life's enduring questions - how to achieve personal fulfillment and more specifically whether we can do so through ethical conduct. He focuses on two significant twentieth-century theologians - Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and Pope John Paul II - seeing both as fitting dialogue partners, given the former's influence on the Second Vatican Council's deliberations on the Jews, and the latter's groundbreaking overtures to the Jews in the wake of his experiences in Poland before and during World War II.

Operation Hawk's Nest
Fitzgerald's breakthrough thriller is a heart-racing tale from the ashes of 9/11. It is a story about the fate of America's war against terror resting in the hands of a reluctant, middle-aged, former Special Forces soldier recruited as a phantom assassin, an elite CIA woman spy operative overseeing the mission and how secrecy at the highest echelons of government is a double-edged sword of power and shadows. Can one man change the course of history? One man whose mission is so secretive only the President, Vice President and Secretary of Defense know his name? Even his children believe he perished in the Twin Towers. As the countdown begins to the assassination of Osama Bin Laden, no one can stop this man or can they?
Life in Pain
This book explores pain in a number of ways. At the heart of the book is an extension of Melzack’s neuromatrix theory of pain into the social, cultural, and economic fields. Specific assemblages involving varied institutions, flows of capital, encounters, and social and economic structures provide a framework for the formation of pain, its perception, experience, meaning, and cultural production. Complementing the extended neuromatrix is a second theory, focussed on the propensity of western market capitalism to seek out new areas of life to subsume to capital. Pain is one such life area that is now ripe for exploitation. Although the book has theory at its heart, it draws extensively on case studies to identify the contradictions and complexities. Case studies are drawn from accounts of drug use in varied contexts such as prescription drugs, methamphetamine use, oxycodone use in North America, and the global rise of the medicinal cannabis marketplace.
