   This is an "Eleanor White Book Review". Such reviews are not like what you see   
   in the print media. My emphasis is to provide enough information that a   
   multi-stalking victim or supporter can make an intelligent decision as to   
   whether to buy the book. This    
   means most of the reviews are excerpted text, with comments inserted. This   
   type of review is biased in favor of information relevant to the fight to   
   expose, educate the public about, and stop, multiple stalking.    
      
   Note: In the excerpted text from the book, emphasis by way of ALL UPPER CASE   
   LETTERS is mine. The reason for such emphasis is to point up information   
   particularly relevant.    
      
   The MAIN purpose of this book review is to describe for the visiting public   
   just how subtle and devious the "science" of harassment had become by the end   
   of the 20th century. Multiple stalker victims will immediately recognize the   
   modus operandi in this    
   book.    
      
   The book Gaslighting is intended to show effective ways of driving someone who   
   has done the reader a REALLY bad turn, or made life Hell for the reader,   
   REALLY crazy. The author takes the position that a few people really do   
   deserve extraordinary    
   harassment. The problem with multiple stalking victims, however, is that they   
   have done NOTHING to deserve the types of treatment described in this book.    
      
   REASON TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK: I, Eleanor White, have found that this little   
   book in hard copy form can do a terrific job of making it plain to those not   
   informed about multiple stalking that some people really do at the very least   
   THINK, and SERIOUSLY,    
   about such crimes. Especially good for doubting family members and co-workers,   
   who often would really rather none of what the multi stalking victim says be   
   true, and would love to rid themselves of worry by writing us off as mental   
   cases.

   Introduction    
      
   [p 1]    
      
   "Gaslighting" is a systematic array of techniques that destroys your target's   
   mental equilibrium, self-confidence, and self-esteem, and is designed to drive   
   your target nuts. Gaslighting is NOT conventional harassment or physical   
   destruction, but highly    
   refined and subtle psychological warfare.    
      
   [Eleanor White: Sound familiar?]    
      
   Relatively crude harassing tactics, such as sending him magazine subscriptions   
   and having his utilities turned off make it unequivocally clear to the target   
   that HE'S UNDER ATTACK BY SOMEONE ELSE.    
      
   [Eleanor White: And I might add, this book proposes tactics designed so that   
   the target canNOT convince others that he IS under attack. The big difference   
   is FREQUENCY of occurrence. While the normal breaks of life happen   
   occasionally, "Gaslighting" and    
   multi stalking victims may have these subtle attacks happen DAILY.]    
      
   Gaslighting is far more subtle, because most of the techniques NEVER CLEARLY   
   POINT to a malevolent or vengeful other party. The hapless target never   
   suspects that things are being done to him ... [EW: at first, anyway] ...he   
   comes to believe he's DOING    
   THEM TO HIMSELF!    
      
   Other tactics are designed to ALIENATE HIM FROM HIS FAMILY MEMBERS, NEIGHBORS,   
   ASSOCIATES, FELLOW EMPLOYEES, AND EVEN HIS EMPLOYER!    
      
   [p 2]    
      
   The term "Gaslighting" comes from the 1944 Hollywood movie Gaslight... ... In   
   the movie Charles Boyer tries to convince his wife that she's going insane by   
   contriving incidents designed to make it appear as if she's forgetful,   
   disoriented, an confused. ..   
   . Boyer ... was able to use the force of his personality to convince Bergman   
   that she had inherited bad genes from her mother, who had died insane.

   Chapter 1: Gaslighting Philosophy    
      
   [p 8]    
      
   A fundamental aspect of gaslighting doctrine is that it's a progressive attack   
   on your target's personality first, followed by his social and occupational   
   relationships. Unlike harassment, where you work from the outside in,   
   gaslighting begins at the    
   center and works out. The sequence of attacks is important, because if you   
   were to mount a direct attack at first, you'd run into a strong and fully   
   functioning personality, able to resist the assaults.    
      
   [Eleanor White: Thankfully, in many cases of attacks as described in this   
   book, these sly moves actually STIFFEN and STRENGTHEN the target's resolve,   
   not destroy it.]    
      
   [p 9]    
      
   There are several steps in preparing a gaslighting campaign against a target.   
   The first is to find out all you can about your target. The first step is to   
   find out all you can about your target, to uncover entry points into his life.   
   The following list    
   provides a minimal outline of what you need to know:    
      
   - Full name    
   - Home address    
   - Marital status    
   - Spouse's name    
   - Number of children if any    
   - Children's sex and age    
   - Other relatives    
   - Occupation    
   - Work address    
   - Work telephone    
   - Name of supervisor    
   - Names of fellow employees    
   - Spouse's workplace    
   - Hobbies and interests    
   - Motor vehicles owned    
   - License plate numbers    
   - Credit card accounts    
   - Bank account numbers    
      
   [Eleanor White: My multiple stalkers have demonstrated knowledge of all the   
   applicable points listed above, and it is a real puzzle how this has been   
   done.]    
      
   [p 12]    
      
   Your target should not discover that he's under attack until your plan is well   
   underway and it's too late for him to counter it.
