First sentence: GEORGE W. BUSH and his critics use the word "evil" in ways that suggest both sides are fighting the last war, talking about a world that no longer exists; or rather, both sides fail to see what evil has become in the world that exists now.
Description: "Drawing on examples both obscure and splashed across the front page, Morrow asks if, ultimately, we can understand evil - or if we even should. From Caligula to Columbine to his encounter with Milosevic, Morrow's stories are drawn from over thirty years of experience as a revered journalist and essayist. The result is a synthesis of a lifetime of observation that illuminates the chronically elusive, endlessly fascinating paradox that is evil."--Jacket.
