You'd never think that murderers and rapists could be your neighbors, acquaintances, colleagues, relatives—ordinary people. A husband shot the woman he loved... A mother strangled her newborn child... An inconspicuous clerk became an executioner... Each time, this evoked disbelief and amazement from everyone. However, the author doesn't attribute such actions to insanity. Daniel Zagouri, who has personally interviewed hundreds of criminals, is convinced that the mechanisms that lead to monstrous acts are hidden within each of us. This book is devoted to answering the question, "What is the trigger for the most insane violence in the most ordinary people?" A separate chapter is devoted to critiquing and expanding on Hannah Arendt's concept of the "banality of evil."

Daniel Zagouri is a leading forensic psychiatrist in France and a senior expert at the Supreme Court of Appeal of Paris.
