具體描述
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, evil remains as potent and radical a force in the world as it has ever been. We all now evil when we encounter it - in the villains of history like Hitler and Stalin, in the routine brutality that makes the nightly news, in the hateful violence of terrorists, and sociopaths - but the phenomenon of evil has long resisted explanation. In this singular survey of this mysterious but all-too-often palpable force, veteran Time magazine essayist Lance Morrow offers a sustained look at the unmistakable ways evil manifests itself in history and in the human heart. This is 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 brutality, and a daring exploration of why evil may be necessary in the world.

评分評論傢的文章真的不值得看麼？應該不是這樣的，時刻記住不可以因噎廢食。不說觀點好壞，一個好的評論傢極強的文字煽動能力，是評論傢本身的長期訓練得到的。而且反映齣的時代訴求於特點，非常寶貴。
