A review by jenniferbbookdragon
The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil by Philip G. Zimbardo

challenging dark informative slow-paced

3.0

While a slow, methodical journey into violence and evil ( including Nazi war crimes, the Rwanda genocide,  and prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib) mixed with psychological research, there are also lessons of heroism and hope. Zimbardo's life was clearly changed by his experience as the creator of the Stanford Prison Experiment.
