520    What makes good people do bad things? Where is the line 
       separating good from evil, and who is in danger of 
       crossing it? Social psychologist Philip Zimbardo explains 
       how--and the myriad reasons why--we are all susceptible to
       the lure of "the dark side." Drawing on examples from 
       history as well as his own research, Zimbardo details how 
       situational forces and group dynamics can work in concert 
       to make monsters out of decent people. By illuminating the
       psychological causes behind such disturbing metamorphoses,
       Zimbardo enables us to better understand a variety of 
       phenomena, from corporate malfeasance to organized 
       genocide. He replaces the long-held notion of the "bad 
       apple" with that of the "bad barrel"--the idea that the 
       social setting and the system contaminate the individual, 
       rather than the other way around. Yet we are capable of 
       resisting evil, he argues, and can even teach ourselves to
       act heroically.--From publisher description.
