A Mixed Bag
By California Dreaming
I guess that Robert Ressler, the FBI agent who wrote this book, died a few years ago. Surely that was a loss, as Mr. Ressler helped catch a lot of serial killers, but he even supposedly coined the phrase "serial killer" in the first place, back in the late 70s or early 80s. But this was my first read from him, and I will say immediately that my review will be somewhat mixed.
I've read quite a few books from John Douglas -- an "underling" of Mr. Ressler's, and you'll be reminded of that maybe too many times in "Whoever Fights Monsters" (WFM) -- and overall, I've usually really liked Mr. Douglas' works. I actually think that the book "Inside the Mind of BTK" might be his best, even better than "Mind Hunter," another very strong effort. And since these two gentlemen worked together for so long, I decided to read WFM.
This book starts out very strong, and keeps it up, for at least three-fourths of the way through. In reality, Mr. Ressler is a slightly better writer than Mr. Douglas, and if Mr. Douglas has any weaknesses, I would argue that it would be using unnecessary ad hominems about the serial killers he describes in his books. You might be tempted to scoff, "They're serial killers! They deserve to have bad things written about them!" but that wouldn't be the point. We already know that serial killers are "bad," so I like it more when writers just stick to clinical terminology and avoid potential fallacies.
But oddly, this is how I believe Mr. Ressler ultimately fails in WFM, at least towards the end. He discusses bringing in psychics to help solve cases, which I think is at least problematic. In reality, I think that it's OK for the police and FBI agents to use psychics as a last-ditch effort, but those officials should remain quiet about it. And later, Mr. Ressler describes interviewing John Wayne Gacy and Edmund Kemper remotely for other agents at Quantico. To me, this is totally fine; when it comes to learning about serial killers, it's probably best to go right to the source. But where it fell apart for me: Mr. Ressler describes Mr. Gacy as being "very intelligent and logical." Now, I've watched several interviews on YouTube featuring Mr. Gacy from jail, before he was executed, and he was anything BUT a logical thinker. His "arguments" were full of red herrings, rationalizations, and non sequitors. So, either Mr. Gacy had a "smart day" during the FBI interview -- I highly doubt it -- or Mr. Ressler gives Mr. Gacy way too much credit here. I believe it's the latter.
But the worst part for me: Mr. Ressler's stand on capital punishment. I'm for the death penalty in some scenarios, and he seems to be against it. His position is fine, but I didn't agree with his logic for defending that position. His argument is something along the following lines, and I'm paraphrasing a bit. "Capital punishment is really just a means for people to get even. Furthermore, knowledge can be gained by keeping serial killers alive by interviewing them." Well, this is a little problematic, because there are other reasons for supporting capital punishment, such as "dead men can't kill again." As a matter of fact, I've read several cases in the news recently where convicted murderers have escaped from prison, and killed again; it obviously wouldn't have been possible if they had been executed. Also, people such as Ted Bundy have said that, if their lives are spared, they'll be willing to divulge more information. Most of the time, it's just stall tactics. It surely was with Bundy.
Well, it's too bad that this book ended poorly for me, but most of it is really solid, so I will give Mr. Ressler a 4 out of 5 rating on "Whoever Fights Monsters." I'll also add, "May you rest in peace."

Wow incredible read! A must read for true crime enthusiasts!
By Mary Jo Pierce
I LOVED this book! I've always been a true crime buff. Each book I read about particular cases about killers leaves me wanting....why? How can someone take the life of another with no more remorse or thought than tossing a used tissue in the trash? How can these monsters walk among us, date our daughters or suckle at our breasts without our knowledge? This book helped me to glimpse into the mind of a few killers thanks to Ressler. Thanks to him I didn't have to view these cold soulless eyes or get my hands dirty. We owe much to Ressler's amazing mind, his initiative and I dare say his amazing wife and children. He's dedicated his life to do this dirty work so that we don't have to. I'm sure there are many who are still alive and safe due to his work. I'm certainly going to thank God that he's around! I am grateful to have been able to understand a little better the kind of monsters who live among us and why they do what they do. Robert Ressler is a true American hero. Anyone who reads true crime MUST read this book! It will give an insight and a better understanding of the whys we so earnestly search for in these horrific cases. Thanks Ressler you are appreciated!

Very good book.
By Sue
I loved this book. Ressler takes you step by step through his interviews, why he asks the questions he does, why he responds to the killers the way he does when he gets a certain kind of answer, and it is readable by a layperson. I saw Ressler speak at my college many years ago and was completely engaged by his lecture. When I by chance came across this book, I jumped at the opportunity to read it. If you are fascinated by serial killers and/or the idea of profiling, you will like this book.
