De Milly, Walter. (1999) In my father’s arms:  A true story of incest. Univ. of Wisconsin Press, Madison, WI.
Preview in Google Books
NOTE: From the publisher: “The TV-perfectfamily of Walter de Milly III was like many others in the American South of the 1950s — seemingly close-knit, solidly respectable, and active in the community.Tragically, Walter’s deeply troubled father would launch his family on a perilous journey into darkness. To the outside world, this man is a prominent businessman, a dignified Presbyterian, and a faithful husband; to Walter, he is an overwhelming, handsome monster. Whenever the two are together, young Walter becomes a sexual plaything for his father; father and son outings are turned into soul-obliterating nightmares. Walter eventually becomes a successful businessman only to be stricken by another catastrophe: his father, at the age of seventy, is caught molesting a young boy. Walter is asked to confront his father. He convenes the family, and in a private conference with a psychiatrist, his father agrees to be surgically castrated. De Milly’s portraits of his relationships with his father and mother, and the confrontation that,leads to his father’s bizarre and irreversible voluntary “cure”, are certain to be remembered long after the reader has set aside this powerful contribution to the literature of incest survival.”

Echols, Mike. (1996) Brother Tony’s boys: The largest case of child prostitution in U.S. history: The true story. Prometheus Books, Amherst, NY.
NOTE: From the publisher: For over 25 years, charismatic Pentecostal evangelist Brother Tony Leyva used Christianity, the Bible, and his status as an “annointed prophet of God” to gain access to, seduce, and sexually assault the young sons of his enthralled followers in 23 states. How could such heinous acts continue undetected for over two decades? “Brother Tony’s Boys” peels back the multiple layers of this twisted evangelist’s double life to answer this and other bone-chilling questions. Read the riveting true story of how Leyva brought his old-fashioned hellfire and brimstone revival to cities and towns from Florida to New York and from Illinois to Louisiana and, under the cloak of God, systematically manipulated and sexually assaulted adolescent boys and procured victims for other “men of God”. Using eyewitness accounts of victims, Mike Echols, author of the bestseller and 5-time Emmy nominated mini-series “I Know My First Name Is Steven”, strips bare the world of Pentecostals in the United States today to reveal how, in this unique yet growing Christian sect, impassioned faith and devotion to the “annointed ones” blinded parents to the evil in their midst.

Gartner presents effective strategies for meeting the unique therapeutic needs of men with sexual abuse histories.
