A Criminal History of Mankind
by Colin Wilson
This massive work introduces a new approach to the history and psychology of human crime and violence. Its sweep is as broad as it is detailed. From the time of the ancient Assyrians, with their bloodthirsty sadism, to our own day when the sex killer and mass murderer become symbols of the neurosis and intensity of modern life, this book is truly thought-provoking.
