<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In a singular survey of this mysterious but all-too-often palpable force, a veteran "Time" magazine essayist offers a sustained look at the ways evil manifests itself in history and in the human heart.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Long couched only in theological terms, and popularly personified by the despots of history, the nature of evil has resisted explanation. In this singular survey of this mysterious but all too often palpable force, veteran <i>Time</i> magazine writer Lance Morrow examines the unmistakable ways evil influences our global culture-and how that global culture in turn has magnified evil's menace. Its dramatic reemergence in the national consciousness-against a backdrop of high-tech, sensationalized violence-makes his updated understanding both timely and absolutely necessary. Drawing on examples both obscure and splashed across the headlines, Morrow seeks to understand how evil works, and what purpose, if any, it serves. From the heartrending to the harrowing, from quiet lies to catastrophic acts, his stories are drawn from over thirty years of experience as a revered journalist and essayist. The result is a brilliant synthesis of a lifetime of observation that elegantly illuminates a chronically elusive but fascinating subject.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lance Morrow</b>, twice winner of the National Magazine Award, is a longtime essayist for <i>TIME</i> magazine. He contributes essays and articles to other publications and is the author of eight books, including <i>Evil: An Investigation</i> and <i>The Best Year of Their Lives: Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon in 1948</i>.
