Since an early age Catherine Greene has been fascinated by totalitarian regimes and the ways in which they use utopian dreams to subvert people's sense of morality. This book is an exploration of this theme. It has been a longstanding ambition of Catherine's to become an author, but it wasn't until she returned to university later in life that she felt able to write coherently. She has had a varied career including working as a journalist, an academic, and latterly as an ethics consultant. She lives in Kent with her husband and son and enjoys walking in the countryside, camping, and TV she'd be embarrassed to be caught watching.
