    Oběť. Nový pohled na smrt Marilyn Monroe
    • Po prostudování tisíců dokumentů z nichž některé nebyly nikdy publikované, Matthew Smith přesvědčivě obhajuje novou, překvapivou verzi událostí. Jeho argumentace je založena nejen na těchto dokumentech a na celém soudním řízení, ale také na tajných, důvěrných páscích, které Marilyn natočila pro svého psychiatra ve dnech před svou smrtí – páscích, které představují ženu zodpovědnou za svůj život a osud, ženu očekávající rušnou, jasnou budoucnost, Tady, ve vlastních slovech přepsaných z pásků jsou nejsoukromější, nejtajnější myšlenky Marilyn Monroe. Čtyřicet let po své smrti zůstává Marilyn ikonou a záhadou. Nové pátrání Matthewa Smitha kolem její smrti povede k novému chápání toho, co se skutečně stalo oné srpnové noci roku 1962 a během týdnů předtím.

      Social psychiatry was a mid-twentieth-century approach to mental health that stressed the prevention of mental illness rather than its treatment. Matthew Smith offers a history of the rise and fall of social psychiatry that also explores the lessons this largely forgotten movement has to offer today.
