Synopsis
From award-winning reporter Lance Morrow, a provocative meditation on the role evil plays in shaping human history, a timely analysis of how this primitive force can be understood in a modern world of high-tech, sensationalized brutalization, and a daring exploration of why evil may be necessary in the world.
The Washington Post
A longtime writer for Time magazine, Morrow is a master of the think piece, and his 34 chapters, some only a few pages long, adhere to that journalistic model. They use an anecdote...or a literary reference...to raise the big questions...Morrow is never less than engaging...—David Heim
