具体描述
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.

评论家的文章真的不值得看么？应该不是这样的，时刻记住不可以因噎废食。不说观点好坏，一个好的评论家极强的文字煽动能力，是评论家本身的长期训练得到的。而且反映出的时代诉求于特点，非常宝贵。
