Mobbing: Emotional Abuse in the American Workplace, 2002 Revised Edition 
Excerpt: "Every year, millions of Americans become victims of emotional abuse inflicted at work. They are damaged to such an extent that they can no longer accomplish their tasks. Co-workers, colleagues, superiors and subordinates attack their dignity, integrity and competence, repeatedly, over a number of weeks, months, or years. At the end, they resign--voluntarily or involuntarily--are terminated, or forced into early retirement. This is mobbing--workplace expulsion through emotional abuse. Ironically and sadly, the victims are portrayed as the ones at fault, as the ones who brought about their own downfalls."

The Bully at Work: What You Can Do to Stop the Hurt and Reclaim Your Dignity on the Job 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "If I had read this book MUCH sooner (such as when the bullying FIRST started), it would have helped me emotionally. I would have realized MUCH sooner what was happening, and known that I wasn't crazy. I could have fought back sooner, and would have known how, and which strategies to use. I also would have kept detailed records of each bullying incident, and I would have gotten witnesses' statements. In short, if you are even questioning yourself about whether bullying is happening to you, or not, BUY THIS BOOK."
Adult Bullying: Perpetrators and Victims 
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "Peter Randall has written a book that anyone who has been victimized by bullies or harassers will relate to imediately. He put into words what my rage inside of me feels like I just can't explain it. I've been a victim of corporate bullying until I finally had a nervous breakdown. When I found this book it was like Peter Randall had been following me around for 2 years and then put all these horrible stories together. Plain and simple he hit the nail on the head with this one. There's alot to learn and take from this book."
