Review: "In The Lucifer Effect, 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 men and women."--BOOK JACKET.
