David Thomas has written a book about men and what it means to be a man today. What are men's needs and fears, their weaknesses and strengths? At the moment, men stand accused. Newspapers and TV screens are filled with reports of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual harassment. Academics, governments and the media assume that men are the guilty parties. Using research from around the world, together with two years' worth of interviews and first-hand reports, David Thomas paints a very different picture of the relationship between men and women.
